Could somebody help with this fly? It has Heleomyzidae appearance, with the exception that there are no evident vibrissae. I was unable to reliably associate it with any other family as well as any genus of Heleomyzidae. Collected 21.07.2017 in South Karelia (NW Russia), body size ca. 6 mm.

The small eyes and long arista suggest Eccoptomera. The genitalia are very similar to E. pallescens - see http://www.spessa.../hpgs.html There appears to be a scar where the vibrissa should be - I think they have just been knocked off.

Tony, thanks a lot for identification and link! I thought about Eccoptomera but was not sure. And you are right about the scar. It's really there though hardly detectable. Edited by AlexP on 12-12-2017 08:40 Alex |
