Hello !
I need help to identify this insect :
(Clic on the photo for a bigger size)
Chavernoz Marina : France : 15 July 2006 : Croutoy (60)
Size : 8mm
I found it in my kitchen. I live between fields and humid forest in the north of France.
I think it is a
Keroplatidae but I don't find lot of information about this family.
Can you help me ?
Thanks
Marina

Keroplatidae is correct. I will try to find out more.

Quick and dirty, for the moment: could be
Cerotelion humeralis but these usually are somewhat bigger than 8 mm.

Ok, Paul. Thank you for your answer. I check the dimension of the orange mark behind my specimen and you are right ! I find about 11mm for the specimen.
On "Le monde des insectes" forum Littlebigfly thinks it should be
Keroplatus sp. What do you think about this proposition ?
Thanks
Marina

Hello Paul
Cerotelion humeralis isn't in FE and not in "Catalog of the Keroplatidae
of the World (Insecta: Diptera) author Neal L. Evenhuis of the
Bishop Museum Bulletin in Entomology 13
Bishop Museum Press
Honolulu, 2006"

Perhaps listed as
Rocetelion humerale (Zetterstedt, 1850) ...

... or perhaps I misunderstood the text in
this report. I probably did, when I come to think of it :p

Well, systematic changes happen all the time. I guess none of the books I consulted were up to date on this change. ;)

Hi, this specimen bother me a bit: Hutson and Akland say (in brithish Hanbook IX) "hind coxae blackish at base on outer surface"
And it's white here.
And
here that in R humerale fore basitarsus/ for tibia should be around 2.
So i think it's
Keroplatus sp., don't you?
