And if Chyliza then it must be leptogaster. Hmmmm very strange indeed. Thank You so much  Jari |

Why ? It is either Ch. leptogaster or Ch. nova, those are very similar and I never found nova. But why is leptogaster strange ? Theo |

Thank You so much Don't worry, strange things happen all the time for dipterologists Theo: He's probably referring to the fact that this species (leptogaster) has to date only been found on the ?land Islands, not mainland Finland. But why not; the host plants grows here and the climate is only slightly colder on the coast. C. nova has not yet been found in Finland. Kahis |

Hi, yes that is the reason. Allways when I find something strange I look for the distribution maps. If the species is found only from Lappland or ?land Islands the bell is ringing telling me to re-check the specimen. So that's why  Jari |
