 Emerged sometime in 2016 from Lipara lucens galls collected 24 March 2016, Humber estuary foreshore, Winteringham, England. The specimen is in alcohol..

 Cecidomyiidae. Five species are recorded from Lipara galls in Nartshuk and Andersson (Frit Flies of Fennoscandia and Denmark) see https://books.goo...mp;f=false

 I think it belongs to supertribe Lasiopteridi.

 Thank you. Of the species listed in Fauna Ent Scand (see Tony Irwin's reply above), the only Lasiopteridi on the British list is Lasioptera arundinis. But I'm not sure that is strong enough evidence to say my specimen is L. arundinis.

 It is not Lasioptera because vein R5 reaches to near wingtip.

 Thanks. So it is likely to be a species not recorded previously from Lipara galls.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
