 Hi,
This handsome yellow Platypalpus I met on a housewall today. I suppose it belongs to the difficult pallidiventris/cursitans group. The lateral shot might be helpful to say more...
Many thanks, Sundew

 Hi,
Probably P. cursitans (Fabricius, 1775), although, it is quite late for this species.
Best regards,
Igor

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
