Hi * locality - Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL * date - 2007.09.04 * size - 3 mm (very small fly) * habitat - indoors * substrate - on window This fly walks almost like a phorid fly, but it is clearly that is not phorid! It is almost black. Milichiidae? Initially I thougth that this could be a scenopionid fly but it doesn?t seem one.  For very dark flies (for small ones!) I know Lonchaeidae, Milichiidae, some Phoridae, .... it seems to be Milichiidae? Do you agree? You can see the genitalia as well.. EDIT---> Title changed from "Unknown family!  or Milichiidae??" to "Milichiidae - Madiza glabra"

the third segment of antenna is conspicuously large! it seems that it hasn?t anal vein... almost sure to be Milichiidae... but I still need confirmation.  |

Hi Jorge, Irina Brake (specialist in Milichiidae and Carnidae) has given her opinion on your specimen. It is Madiza glabra, so indeed Milichiidae. See also: http://www.milich...ted/madiza Jan Willem |

Glad to know that I was right. We can see that in final of R1 vein there is a notch. |
