Pe?aflor, Aragon, Spain Pictures taked yesterday Maybe 3 mm long Habitat: I only saw it in salty interior water (low freatic level), with Brachypodium, Suaeda, Phragmites, salty plants. Very common in this strange habitat.   Some ideas? Thanks  |

It's a Stratiomyidae, with that abdominal shape, but without looking it up in my references, I couldn't tell you which one.

Stratiomyidae alright. Looks like a Nemotelus |

It is, but there are many more species down South. And quite a few are found in salt marsh-like habitats along the coast.

Many of the necessary details to give a certain identification are invisible, but it mostly resembles N. andalusiacus, known from the Western Mediterranean (Spain, Sicily, Algeria).

N. andalusiacus is a synonym of N, maculiventris. Eleven more species of the genus in Spain. |
