Meromyza femorata Macquart, 1835 (Chloropidae, Chloropinae).
Though Meromyza spp. normally only can be identified after the male genitalia this species, a female, may be correctly named: All over yellow, the palpi black distally and exceptionally thickened hind femora. A confirmed host plant is Dactylis glomerata. All Meromyza spp. loose their greenish appearance after have been killed.
