Found this fly under an apple tree (probably Malus sylvestris) on the coast of southern Norway on 3 November. IS there anyone who can identify this species? Morten A Mjelde attached the following image:  [295.22Kb] Edited by Morten A Mjelde on 09-11-2024 14:31 |

Indeed a Drosophila (if one does not prefer splitting of this genus). The fly looks much like D. funebris, except of its 4v-index (length of las sectin of fourth wingvein divided by the length of its penultimate section). It is 1.3 to 1.4 in D.funebris, but here about 2.0. Thus: Drosophila sp. |

Thank you very much for the reply and the explanation. I tried to key it (Mike's Insect Keys) but think I went wrong somewhere... Morten |

I am suggesting a dark D. suzukii ♀
Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated. My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated. |

By a detailed picture of abdominal end the Lorinś suggestion might be confirmed - or not. |

Thanks to both of you! I caught a male D. suzukii in the same place, so the suggestion is plausible.

Not very clear photo but yes, the acute oviscapt points to D. suzukii. |
