Hello Andrzej,

I understand that these Suillia's are impossible and I'm already happy if you can confirm that it's a Suillia spec. as sometimes they look like Scathophaga spec. Difference between male and female I think to know. Most of the time the man is the small one, funny with these is, that this male is the bigger one.

Regards,
Hedy

Hi Hedy, it is Suillia sp. (Probably the common S. affinis but scutellum and aristal hairs unvisible). The one pair of orbital bristle,, 5 pairs of dorsocentrals , no humeral and no spines in the middle part of tibiae characterize the genus Suillia
