Hi,
I found this Stratiomyidae this summer in south France.
I caught the specimen and identified it as Sargus, but to go further with the key i have (Seguy, in french) i need the head (and of course, i lost it in traveling :o)
Does someone know witch specie it could be? (This is my only picture of the specimen)
Buis les Baronnies (26), Environ 14 mm, 19/08/2012

It is not cuprarius, because no dark spot on the wing. It is not bipunctatus, because the female S. bipunctatus looks much different. I do not think it is S. iridatus, because of the dark legs. So, I think (!) it is S. flavipes.

Ah, I like this question. I tell you I did not think for a moment about it. As far as I know it is only very, very rarely recorded. But to be honest I have never seen it. If you ever catch one....think of me. Yet, going back to this little fly....I still think it is flavipes, but I am very interested what others think about it.
