Hello, I think this should be Ogcodes. Is it possible to say more? Data: 11.7.2008 near Furth im Wald, Bavarian Forest, Germany. Regards Ingrid Ingrid Altmann attached the following image:  [176.97Kb] Edited by Ingrid Altmann on 11-02-2019 07:50 |

This is a member of Acroceridae, but not Ogcodes, as the antennae sit close to the vertex and not close to the mouth margin. With the key in Weinberg & Bächli (1997) https://www.googl...VvVoMLvxcl I arrive at Paracrocera orbicula that is often included in Acrocera (see https://diptera.i...d_id=74358) Regards, Sundew |

Another question: Is the valid Name now Acrocera orbiculus? |

What is valid ? Most recent authors do not accept Paracrocera as a genus. Theo |

In their paper of 2002 (https://www.googl...sIyRdqSHjs) Weinberg & Bächli accept the argumentation by Nartshuk (2000) and agree that Paracrocera is a junior synonym of Acrocera. So Acrocera orbiculus is correct. |
