Moscow region, 10 aug, 8-9mm. I've got Meigenia, that pilosa/basignata, both not valid anymore. Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [76.06Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Hi Nikita It is not Meigenia. Pity we can't see the wing, but my guess is Exorista (rustica-group) No sure, though Theo |

Thanks. It proves I was partly right. You can see a distinct fold coming out of the bend in vein M. This is an indication of Exoristini (or several other possibilities). However, Blondeliini like Meigenia are characterized by a very smooth bend in vein M (quite the opposite). Moreover, the strong descending frontal bristles always suggest Exorista. However, I see strong discal setae on tergites. Therefore, it cannot be rustica. So Exorista spec. Theo |
