Hahaha, very nice, Andrzej, but I have to confess that I saw it was a Trixoscelis, but I hardly collected any, knowing well how closely related they are to the Heleomyzidae. I collected some in Hungary, but I gave them all to the museum in Budapest.

come on, Andrzej, you ask me? I know bloody well you are interested in this family. In fact I had already in mind that this kind of genera, which I will collect on Crete, I have to keep for you!

hmm, no comments more ...
I give the short diagnosis for the female of T. canescens, published in Dipteron last year:
Wings with costa and subcostal area including first longitudinal cell blackish darkened, greyish mesonotum with two brown median stripes between the dorsocentrals, reaching scutellum. Female abdomen with a broad and shiny dark brown median band, gray laterally ;)

but I guess you are interested in this group, when I collect them on Crete? I do not have plans to collect them myself.

I thought it was difficult to distinguish the females of
T. frontalis for
T. similis. Andrzej, could you please explain how you see that you are dealing with a female of
T. frontalis and not a female of
T. similis?

Jan Willem is right ! Better to name this picture as
Trixoscelis cf.
frontalis !
