Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Suillia smilis?

Hi,
Yesterday Juergen posted a big Suillia that recalled one I saw some days ago. S. smilis was said to have a long pubescent arista. The arista of my fly isn't smooth, but is it sufficiently pubescent to recognize that species?
Many thanks, Sundew

Hello Claudia !
very difficult to say ... The arista is rather short pubescent because the diameter of the aristal hairs is near the width of the basal aristal segment :-(

Ha - these Suillias are annoying... So this fat one will join the nameless team, too. Many thanks nevertheless, dear Andrzej!
