Hello ! Aywaille (Belgium), 23/6/2019, on oak bark. Obviously no black mark between the antennas (bottom right). So, Peplomyza discoidea ? If yes, it could be a new species for Belgium (according to Fauna Europae, but is it updated ?). Eric Steckx attached the following image:  [130.54Kb] Eric Steckx |

I think you are right on all counts.

Lo and behold, not known from the Netherlands I just collected a female from a window in our museum, too!

The chances for that are somewhat smaller here, at least among most fly families, but we might have a chance in phorids, cecidomyiids and sciarids, I guess. P. discoidea is just one among a dozen or so species that have their first record (or one of the first records upon publication) from the window in our museum.
