hi flyforum,
This afternoon I found 3 Dexiosoma's.
From what I know, it could be
Dexiosoma caninum again..
The arista is quite short and plumosa as well.
Am I right?

Yes :) There is no central facial ridge and the bend in the median vein has a long appendix :)

Thank you Chris,
central facial ridge; are these the inter frontal bristles? (standing upwards)?

No - in some dexiines (eg.
Dinera &
Dexia) there is a rounded ridge between the bases of the antennae, reaching down towards the mouth edge - usually big enough to be visible in side profile :)
