Hi everybody.

Is-it possible to name this one ? It was found on the "Mont Lozčre" - France - alt.: 1300m

Yes Muscidae. I think it's a female Helina evecta / annosa.

Thank's a lot Stephane.
Could you tell me what is the difference between H. evecta and annosa ?

Helina evecta : a complete row of antero-ventral setae on hind femur + fine black setulae on the underside of the scutellum.
Helina annosa : av are confined to apical half of hind femur + scutellum bare beneath (just a few setulae at the margin).
