A tricky one Volker.
For Calobata petronella one would expect to see brown humeri. A vague suggestion of that in the top picture but not in the third one.
The ovipositor shape could be a bit of a clue, in C. petronella it starts bulbous then narrows. I'm more inclined towards Neria cibaria where the ovipositor is black with a kink.
Take a look at Calobata petronella http://micropezid...my/term/15
and Neria cibaria http://micropezid...my/term/20

Thanks a lot, Darwyn, for ID help with excellent explanations!
Thank you also for the link to the Micropezidae website.
I attached another picture where the whole ovipositor is visible.
Best regards,
Volker

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
