Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Bellin (east of Kiel), right by the lake Selenter See, at the wall of a tunnel for pedestrians beneath a street, 24th of May 2020, (Photo: kuv - only this one). Is my idea - after searching in the Diptera Gallery - ok? Please help to get the ID. Kuv kuv attached the following image:  [96.21Kb] Edited by kuv on 27-11-2020 22:22 |

Alas, no. First of all, lepidus (currently: longipes) is a very late autumn species. Secondly, you can see the spines halfway the front tibia, hence Dilophus rather than Bibio. The apperent absence of an outplaced spine and the date strongly suggest B. femoratus. Theo |

Thank you very much Theo for correcting my idea. It's good to hear some informations about the flies. But sorry I think you mean not B. femoratus but which one ...? Greetings Kuv Edited by kuv on 27-11-2020 13:02 |

Hi Theo, reading some threads of Bibionidae in Diptera.info-Forum I think you mean Dilophus femoratus. Additional I read that a safe ID needs picture of genitalia. So I'll write: Dilophus cf. femoratus. Thanks once more Greetings Kuv Edited by kuv on 27-11-2020 17:24 |

Yes, I did. And study of genitalia is necessary, but not around Kiel. Locality, date and picture strongly suggest femoratus, even if I have not seen its genitalia  Theo Edited by Zeegers on 28-11-2020 09:18 |
