Hi, did not find a match in Agromyzidae, Chloropidae, Chyromyidae. Found on a blackberry bush in a park in Vienna. Btw, concerning Acalyptrates with plumose antennae, I know of Drosophilidae, Ephydridae, Periscelidae and Stenomicridae. Are there many more?

Thank you John, I checked the family, there is Asteia elegantula which fits my specimen. A. algeriensis looks different. If I am correct, the silvery stripe between the eyes indicates a male? In fauna europaea only A. concinna is reported from Austria - that one I can exclude. Cheers, Lorin |

I read the key (https://www.onlin...p?key_no=6) too quickly. The species I named is darker. See if you can run your fly through the key. |

The key leads me to Asteia elegantula as well. |
