Hello,

Caught by Malaise trap in a Cladium mariscus bed in a wet moor. in the north of Brittany.
I think it's Pherbellia goberti because of particular of gonostylus.

- mesopleuron bare
- pteropleuron with 6-9 hairs, some longer than other
- no brownish ring on middle and hind femora but fore femora clearly dark on the top and fore tibia and tarsus darker than posterior
- antennae yellow
- anterior part of frons without pruinosity
- mid-frontal stripe short
- body yellow/ brown
- posterior part of gonostyli long without any setae
- anterior part of gonostyli with some thin setae

Is it correct ?















Thanks,
Benoît

I doubt that it is goberti. I don't know the answer, sorry.
Do you have Knutson's redescription of goberti? (I can send you.)

Dear Benoît, I think that at least two upper images should be placed in diptera.info Gallery!
