Hello,
This fly was found in the Pyrenees at an altitude of 1,500 meters.
Should it be Periscepsia carbonaria or Kirbya moerens?
I'm leaning toward the former because :
- Periscepsia's third antennal segment is larger than Kirby's one
- it has a pair of post-sutural ac setae, which I believe Kirbya doesn't have?

Periscepsia carbonaria is correct, I think (Kirbya moerens is an early spring species).
