Hello Dipterists, I am venturing into Sciomyzidae now and have just keyed out my first specimen, using Rozkosny's Fennoscandia key. How have I done - is the fly below Tetanocera? I make it T silvatica, but some of the key charcaters are hard to be sure about without comparative material, so it's very hard to be sure of the ID. conopid attached the following image:  [68.97Kb] Nigel Jones, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom |

Definitely Tetanocera. Large, reddish specimens are usually T. robusta but colour is not a reliable character.
