Thread subject: Diptera.info :: another Sciomyzid

Hello again,

here is another Sciomyzid.
I think it could be Euthycera fumigata but there are a lot of similar species (or genera) which I'm unable to distinguish.

Could someone here give me a hint, please?

Found on "wild" grassland (with a great variety of herbs) on 20th June 2007 near a forest.

Greetings
Nele

It isn't easy to distinguish genuses Euthycera and Limnia, nessesary characters (hairs onmeso- and pteropleuron) hardly visible on photo.
This time it is Limnia, probably male of Limnia unguicornis, but impossible to be 100% sure.
