hi flyforum,

This morning I found a Rhinophoridae on the loft in my house.
Is it Paykullia maculata ?

size about 6-7mm
date: 8-05-2009

sorry for the delay, I was interrupted..

here is a detail of the headparts.

Is that a redish palp?

Clearly Melanophora roralis, the other (and most) indoor Rhinphoridae. This species sometimes has populations completely indoors, so is my believe.
