I’d appreciate a name (or even a family) for this fly – I’m sure I’ve seen it before, but can’t recall what it is! The photo was taken by József Káldi, on 15 March, near Győr in NW Hungary.

Thanks, Jozef. Agreed the body and head shape is similar, but they are just not hairy enough!

With all probability a Chloropidae. Looks like Trichieurina pubescens (https://insektari...pubescens/)

Chloropidae, Chloropinae, Trichieurina pubescens (Meigen, 1830), originally described in Eurina, partly misspelled as Eurhina, transferred to Trichieurina by Duda 1932-1933 in Lindner; by Brischke (1890: 100) ordered in the family group name Sciomyzina. Read my post for https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=29190. Until today not yet published for the west of Germany or western Europe. All trials by me to find the host plant in places of east Germany [where it had been rarely collected by Hella Wendt and by Christian Kassebeer early in the year] were in vain. For anybody who could present me at least one male and one female for genitalia studies I would be very thankful. Anybody who caught it should note the exact geographical coordinates and all monocots around the locality (except the Poaceae), especially Carex spp. Larvae may possibly produce galls. Published countries of occurrence: Austria, Bulgaria, Central Asia, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia, Moscow Region and other Russian northern and southern areas, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Ukraine. |
