I?ve photographed this diptera (21 mm.) the 7/2007, in the north-west Sardinia. Leptomydas already confirmed by Cloraphane. The Italian Cecklist marks for Sardinia only Leptomydas sardous. I have the bug in the alcool, available for details. Pietro attached the following image:  [102.86Kb] Edited by Pietro on 16-07-2007 21:30 Ciao Pietro |

Hi Pietro, You are correct, this specimen you nicely photographed and caught last year is Leptomydas sardous - the only species of Mydidae on Sardinia. This species has also recently been recorded from Corsica (Tomasovic 2002 - see http://www.mydidae.tdvia.de/biblio/2000.html ). I would be interested in this secimen in ethanol as I am starting a larger research project on the phylogeny of Mydidae and host the Apioceridae and Mydidae web-site (www.mydidae.tdvia.de). Could I also post this photo on the Mydidae web-site? Torsten |

Thanks Torsten, I am very glad about your request, you can freely use my photo on your web-site. I have just seen the site this year, and by now the Leptomydas sardous are not still there ( they will be in the site by July/August). Ciao Pietro |
