Hi Nikita,

Since both specimens are males, studying the genitalia will help us to find out if the specimens are really what we think they are:
Nr 1) I think you are right, Geomyza apicalis.
Nr 2) Could be Geomyza hackmani, but studying the genitalia would be a good idea!

Jan, I examined genitalia. It fits ok with G.hackmani you send me last year:

Any more doubts or I can put it as G.hackmani without "?"
