Hello, Following the Séguy's key, my guess is that this Dioctria could be a D. atricapilla ... What do you think about this guess ? Loire Atlantique, western France, June 13 2015. about 9 mm ... pat_der2003 attached the following image:  [49.03Kb] Edited by pat_der2003 on 01-09-2015 18:30 |

Pretty sure you are right! It is a very dark legged one. (Edit) That sounds silly : ) what i have written. What i meant is that this is Dioctria hyalipennis with very dark legs

Looking at another view of this robertfly I was now actually asking myself "couldn't it be D. hyalipennis rather than D. atricapilla ?" judging by comparison with pictures of a french gallery's entomo forum ... So I came back to this diptera forum to check this out ... and I found your EDIT !  So I was wrong => this is a Dioctria hyalipennis female ? |

I am sure it is... : ). According Bosak Hradsky, the alternative D. baumhaueri should have black occiptal bristles and this one has light coloured ones.
