It's a funny thing flies! Every times after slight idea that I began to understand something in Diptera come to my mind you immidatly show me that I understand nothing. I checked Phoridae in available books, it seems that you are right as usualy . Just in case I add one more image with a little bit visible venation. Thank you Kahis.  P.S. Can I regard your silence on Ephydridae image as confirmation? Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I bit of both. There seems to be no setae on tibiae and a single hair line on hind tibia. While this is by no means unique for Megaselia, other genera with this combination are (in my experience) not commonly found. Also, the male genitalia are partially visible and they match the Megaselia genus group. |
