Hi,
i found no similar thread elsewhere, so i start a new one...

I am pretty interested in coastal flies (so diptera really to be found on the high water line, coastal defence mechanism, buoys...)

At the beach, many specific species can be found, are there additions to the ones mentioned beneath? Or are there species mentioned which can be found in other habitats?

Dolichopodidae
Aphrosylus celtiber (common)
Aphrosylus ferox
Scellus notatus (common, more inland)

Empididae
Chersodromia arenaria
Chersodromia hirta
Chersodromia incana
Chersodromia speculifera

Anthomyiidae
Fucellia maritima (common)
Fucellia tergina

Ephydridae
Some species, but which ones?
Scatella tenuicosta for brakish waters...

Helcomyzidae
Helcomyza ustulata (common)

Heterocheilidae
Heterocheila buccata (rather common)

Scathophagidae
Ceratinostoma ostiorum??
Scathophaga litorea

Sepsidae
Orygma luctuosum

Tethinidae
Almost all species?

Coelopidae
Coelopa pilipes?
Coelopa frigida

Thank you allready.
Bye, Jonas
