Hi helge,

A Drosophilidae from the genus Phortica. Two native and widespread European species. Some think the marks around the eyes and the colour of the apical tarsal segments are diagnostic. This is not the case in the North-Western European material I've seen. Only the male terminalia are diagnostic....

Kind regards,
Ectemnius
