Hi, I'm not expert about diptera, but I collected one 8 mm fly whis is under my binocular: - It has a ptilinal suture - The apex of the abdomen turns inwards (ventrally) like a Conopidae - Lacks elongated snout - Anal cell next (but not reach) the wing border - False wing border like Sirphidae - Eye (laterally) occupying nearly all the head, not like Conopid. So is not Sirphidae, nor Conopidae, so I'm lost.  Any idea of which family could it be woul be wellcomed. Thanks in advance, Rafa. Edited by rafael_carbonell on 21-04-2011 09:09 |

Try Pipunculidae  - just a few pictures in the gallery, but you can find many more with a forum search

You'd better tell where you found the fly as well ... |

Well, the fly was catched in my kitchen, but I live in the countryside. 11 may 2008, the lenght of the wing about 7 mm; the lenght of the body about 10 mm. Here I add a bad picture (ventral habitus, one wing reversed) and a drawing of the right wing... just to know family... and learn. Thanks in advance. rafael_carbonell attached the following image:  [15.11Kb] Edited by rafael_carbonell on 16-06-2008 21:09 |

It looks like Baccha elongata, Syrphidae.

Great! Could be that animal. But then Chinery's key guide of insects is wrong? I saw a ptilininian suture! Or may be I'm wrong? And also the apex of the abdomen was turned ventrally, like conopids. |

With that wing (nice drawing) it is Syrphidae without doubt, and with this figure it's Baccha without doubt. Greetings. Stephane. |
