Hi

* locality - Alviela (caves) - Alcanena (?) - PORTUGAL
* date - 2007.08.18
* size - 4 mm (small fly)
* habitat - cave
* substrate - calcareous rock


Yesterday I went to visit a cave in Alviela with my friend Andr? Van Eck and others persons. We saw many bats, and these flies: Phoridae, Chironomidae, Culicidae, Calliphoridae (the favourite for Meta/Metellina spiders in caves), Medetera spp. (many!), and.... finally the Nycteribiidae! :) (sorry, cosmnl:)

Here goes the photo I took. I hope that this photo can show us the possible genus!

EDIT---> Title changed from "Nycteribiidae! - bat fly. :)" to "Nycteribiidae - Penicillidia sp." then "Nycteribiidae - Penicillidia sp. ?" (to confirm..)
