Hello, normally I know flies with this appearance measuring 7-9 mm, but this one was only 4.5 mm. On a big leaf near small creek (northwest Germany). P.S.: What is the difference between families Micropezidae and Neriidae? I see genus Neria in Micropezidae not Neriidae (?!?).

Nerius and Neria are both valid genera in different families. Species of family Neriidae (type genus Nerius) have apical arista. I don't know if you have a Neria in your photos. |

Hello John, (sorry, I had replied to this thread. bur for some reason my answer did not show...) John Carr wrote: Nerius and Neria are both valid genera in different families. Species of family Neriidae (type genus Nerius) have apical arista. I don't know if you have a Neria in your photos. thanks! I was just a bit confused, because both families contain superficially similiar, very slender flies...
