Thank You very much! What is the current status of Itaphila? Emőpidid, Hybotid or in 'Iteaphila group' family?

Sorry,
Iteaphila Zetterstedt 1838, Empididae. ;)

Thank You.
Here, at EoL and at Catalogue of Life it is listed under an own family, Iteaphila group, after recent reclassification.

Hi,
If you have specimens, use this key to know the species:
1. Thoracic pleuron entirely finely pollinose……………………..I. furcata (Zetterstedt)
– Anepisternum and katepisternum largely shining……..………………I. nitidula Zetterstedt
All the best,
Igor

Thank You, I'll buy a new microscope in 1 months time, and will use that to check those characters!

PS: @Paul: if I submit this to gallery, should it be to empididae or new family?

Tricky: unplaced genus in Empidoidea. Put it in Hybotidae provisionally.
