Hi,
Some days ago I met this
Minettia in my garden. It recalls
M. longiseta, but as I do not recognize the hairy arista I feel uncertain about a species name. Can you help me?
Thanks, Sundew

Minettia lupulina should have a black margin of the scutellum, with the black extending onto the disc of the scutellum...

I am sorry, I forgot to see to the scutellum :@. So it is probably M. longiseta, but the shape of the scutellum in specimen from my comparative collection is different. But I dont know this species very good.

Where does
flaviventris fit in with these species with grey mesonotum?

M. flaviventris is simillar, but it has dorsocentral seta before sutura.
