Hi,

I found this tiny little fly from my beer trap today. It has been wet and washed in alcohol, but the white dots are so distinct and it looks like Amiota alboguttata in the gallerey. The ventral hairs on arista are very short too. August 9. 2010 Helsinki, Finland

There are a number of Amiota species that are very similar. You will have to run it though the key to be certain about the identity.

This seems to be correct with the key, so alboguttata it is
