Hi all! I've followed the Key to European Families (Oosterbroek 2006) to identify this fly collected in Catalonia (June 2010), but I keep coming up against a dead end. The truth is, the species seems familiar, but I can't find it. Can anyone help me? Saludos! Jorge Jorge attached the following image:  [246.57Kb] Edited by Jorge on 27-03-2025 11:15 Jorge Mederos |

Ulidiidae. Note the small point in the corner of cell cup. |

Thanks John. However, I don't see any preapical dorsal bristles on any of the tibiae.

Otites sp. cf. maculipennis (Ulidiidae Otitini). Try to dry it a little to develop the microtrichose silver pattern of thorax and abdomen, just for 10 minutes after 96 EtOH: it matters, but invisible in alcohol Edited by Nosferatumyia on 27-03-2025 22:42 Val |
