Dear Forum,

I'm sorry that I even cannot propose a familiy for these two flies.
I found the first one the 27.06 in Remerschen (Luxemburg, border triangle of Luxemburg, France and Germany, MTB 6504) in a rather high grassfield. It was about 8mm long.
The second fly was quite similar concernig the size and found in an grassfield as well whre ist landed on a leaf.
Unfortunately I am hopelessly overstrained with most flies, but as I participated in an Geo-Biodiversity-Day, it would be pretty good to have as many species as possible defined. That's why I would better have register the species (if an identification ist possible at all) with the Name of the determinator - just for anyone to know.

I would be very gratefull for your help an hope the pics are sufficient.

Kind regards,
Svenja

Hallo,

thank you very much for your quick help!
Waht a pity that a determination up to the correct species is impossible.

Regards,
Svenja

IT could be possible. I do not know well the Sciomyzidae family. We have experts here in DI for this family. Nikita or St�phane or ... could tell you by sure what it can be.
I'd say a Coremacera sp.

Hello again,

so I can wait still.
I took a look at the gallery an me too I found the genus Coremacera pretty fitting. But I am not sure at all. As I said, I am not a specialist in flies at all and therefor I am really cautious with them.

So tahnk you again for your information,
kind regards,
Svenja
