* locality - Rio Mijares - Valencia - SPAIN * date - 2008.08.27 * size - about 2 mm (very small fly) * habitat - near a river * substrate - sweeping... I don't know this fly. Even the family. The wings are trinagular, but nothing like Lonchopteridae I saw. The legs are not so bristly like Lonchopteridae. The wings are infuscated near the margin. Which is this one? jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [190.81Kb] Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 01-09-2008 10:34 |

as we can see it has only 3 bristles on katepisternum in the pleura. Big and strong orbital reclinate bristles.. arista plumose like periscelidids. two strong bristles on scutellum. very, very small calypters, in spite of that seems an acalyptrate fly?.. what do you think?

Phil this is a rather small fly. about 2-3 mm. the problem is that antennae seems more campichoetid appearance... Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 31-08-2008 20:43 |

Campichoeta (Diastatidae, but often split into its own family Campichoetidae).

Thanks, Paul and Kahis. So my intuition was right! And this was the first campichoetid I see. |
