Hi. I have doubts with this specimen, since it has no two breaks on the costa (or at least until I can see), cell Cup absent DmCu absent.
Furthermore, arista presents on its upper side a small bristles, very fine and restricted to the basal.

It is
Parydra (Ephydridae) - I think
pubera, but will check when I get home.

P. pubera was rather common in Morocco, I collected it for Marina Krivosheina.

Thanks, Nikita - I have checked, and don't think it can be anything else.

Tony and Nikita, Thanks so rapid identification of the specimen. I talked to Tadeusz Zatwarnicki, and he also agrees that the specimen belongs to Parydra (Paranapaea) pubera Loew, 1860.
Thanks to all!!!:D
