Does anybody know something about this fly? I found it on 16-V-2008 in Belgium. It was sitting on a leaf of a Catalpa in our garden. The size is 3,1 mm without the ovipositor.

Female of Palloptera ustulata or Palloptera anderssoni. See http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=3930

Thanks a lot. P. anderssoni is absent on the Belgian list, but I assume there hasn't been looked for it yet?
