Anal vein also reach wing margin in Scathophagidae. I'm not sure, but what about Cordilura? Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I agree with Nikita. Last night I determined a Cordilura ciliata, which looks very much like the fly in the photo with silvery grey dusting on the face and the sides of the thorax. However the wings were yellow tinged, rather than dark as in this fly.

It doesn't really look like any scathophagid I know.

Paul, I don't think it may be Scathophagidae - calypteres are too large. Some Muscidae look alike (Phaonia atriceps-group), but I don't think so as well. My ideas are: 1. Vein A seems very long 2. Currently we have Michael Ackland among our members So, 1. I'd change name on Anthomyiidae? and wait for Michael's reaction. 2. If Michael will reply "no", we can make one more "brain storm" Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

With this wing venation, it is definitely not in my department. Sorry. I'd say it is Anthomyiidae, but then again, what do I know of Anthomyiidae ? Theo |

It could be Acyglossa atramentaria Meigen, which has these erect tergal setae. As the name Acyglossa indicates a long glossy proboscis, a photo of the head in profile would help to confirm this. I don't know if this is a male or female, as both have separated eyes, but I suspect it is a female. I only have 2 males in my collection, both caught in France (Dordogne) in 1980. The species does not occur in Britain. Hennig sugggests that it is a parasite of grasshoppers, as another species of Acyglossa (pollinoa Vill.) occurs in southen France and has been bred from them. A. atramentaria is related to Chirosia, and has a posteroventral apical seta on hind tibia (not visible in photo. |
