Mintho sp. or related genus :D This doesn't look like rufiventris though and it is out of the range of my keys. Would be nice to see a specimen of one :)

Chris is right, this is Mintho praeceps, to be expected on Cyprus.

Might be a nice photo for the gallery :) Can you submit that rob?

... and sure, people can send me dead flies any time ... can't promise an ID but I am a lot better with keys and a specimen in front of me ;)
