Hello, Stephane!

I was thinking,
Dryomyza would never be as glossy as
Neuroctena. But in the last few weeks I was very insecure in distinguishing those genera (therefore the two questionmarks in my reply to Pristurus)... Could you please also take a look at
these Dryomyzidae from my garden in northwest Germany (too many pictures to post them here), especially the second individual? With the dark abdomen it looked more like
Dryomyza flaveola, but apart from the glossy thorax it was also much bigger (> 12 mm) than I was accustomed for
Dryomyza (generally
Neuroctena anilis here is the distinctly larger species in average, specimens over 10 mm are not rare). Thanks in advance!

Juergen, I think 1 & 2 are
N. anilis and the others are
D. flaveola (R1 seems not ciliate, lunula is rather exposed and 3d ant. is darkened).

Many thanks, Stephane, one more time!
