Hi flyforum, Nice to see you again.  This time I spotted near ?vora four acrocerids! I caught some... So far I saw 10 acrocerids. I have here another fly (not acrocerid) with amazing properties... it managed to survive during more than 30 min in freezer!!! And over 2 weeks inside a vial without water... very strange... I never saw a fly managed so long time. It must be the super fly. I will show you more later. But for now take a look for the new acrocerid (or the same...). Please compare with this other acrocerid I caught: http://www.dipter...ad_id=6967 * locality - Herdade da Mitra - Valverde - ?vora - PORTUGAL * date - 2007.06.26 * size - 6 mm (medium fly) * habitat - woodland * substrate - hovering... Acrocera sp. ? EDIT---> Title changed from "back with new acrocerid fly..." to "Acroceridae - Cyrtus gibbus" jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [193.98Kb] Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 15-09-2007 02:30 |

no, it cannot be Acrocera sp. It has no short proboscis. Perhaps a Cyrtus again, but another new species?.. or Can C. gibbus has different patterns in abdomen?

Cyrtus gibbus is extremely variable. This is a Cyrtus, to me at the moment C. gibbus. Theo Zeegers |
