Hello such "broken" body profile I have seen only in the case of Stegana furta (Drosophilidae) in the gallery. Is it also Drosophilidae (Stegana, Steganina?), or something different? size 3.5 mm, Slovakia, open land, 200 m a.s.l. Thanks in advance.

Hi Martin, What about Discomyza (Ephydridae)? See also Diptera Gallery. Jan Willem |

It is really more similar to Discomyza, thanks a lot, Jan! Is it possible to go also to species level? Martin Martin Suvak attached the following image:  [114.74Kb] |

Hi Martin, I believe that Discomyza incurva is the only known species in the palaearctic region. So that should be the one  . Maybe one of the others can confirm this!Jan Willem |

Jan, I must thank you again. I have never seen such fly before and I have only limited information on Ephydridae. To me, this fly looks like from other planet, . Martin |
