Yesterday. La Pe?a, Huesca, NE Spain. 500 meters high. Mix of mediterranean and mountain climate. Habitat: in the side of a lake, between the segdes (Phragmites australis), in a company of high numbers of Calopteryx xanthostoma. Size: about 4-5 mm.  What species can be? Thanks.

Sciomyzidae. PS Phragmites is 'reed' in English, not 'sedge'. Sedges are Carex and related species (Cyperaceae) Edited by Susan R Walter on 29-06-2008 17:30 Susan |

Well, there is always the possibility of a new species...  Fauna Europaea lists three Platycephala species. I am unfamiliar with the third one (P. rugosa), but it has a southeastern distribution in Europe. Kahis |
