Thanks for the ID

According the Check list of Dolichopodidae of Israel
http://grichanov....Israel.htm
this can be Tachytrechus planitarsis Becker, 1907

Add more Tachytrechus planitarsis from other location
With Chironomidae larvae

In fact, all 12 E Mediterranean species of Tachytrechus can be met in Israel, as the genus is mainly southern in the Palearctic; but 1-2 names may be united (synonymized) in the future.
