I think that this is a female Phaonia, if so is it possible to say what species it is? -or a few "candidates" that I can check further? Wing about 4-5 mm Found on a house wall outside Stockholm Sweden november 2023 olep attached the following image:  [297.72Kb] Edited by olep on 26-11-2023 08:44 |

Many thanks John for finding the right genus.Here in Sweden the most common species are Lispocephala alma and L. erythrocera but there are as far as I know 7 other species. After looking at images my main candidate is L. alma but I'm not sure if it is possible to make an identification from photos? |

Lispocephala alma has black spots over crossveins and on margins of the scutellum. In America I have only seen it in early spring. If it overwinters as an adult there must be adults in November too. I have never seen them flying in fall. |

Many thanks John for your new answer/response. I agree with you this is not L. alma. The crossveins are not right, the margin of the scutellum has no spots and and the front tarsus are dark without a light part of the tarsus, see my photo and an example on this link https://www.naturbasen.dk/observation/774064/lispocephala-alma Further more most observations of L. alma in Sweden are also in the spring months, there are a few observations in the autumn but I'm not sure if the identification of them are right And as I understand it, it is not the second most common species L. erythrocera either. So it should be one of the other more uncommon 7 Swedish Lispocephala olep attached the following image:  [182.45Kb] |

Hi, Ole sent me the specimen, and after examination of its genitalia it turned out to be Lispocephala vitripennis Ringdahl, 1951. For identification I used this paper: https://www.resea...a_Muscidae Johane attached the following image:  [109.65Kb] Johan Ennerfelt |
