All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

 Hello helge & Carnifex,

For Zodion there is, I think, a better key: https://www.nev.n...151003.pdf

With these excellent photo's it can be identified as Z. cinereum, female.

Kind regards,
Ectemnius

It is sad news. I read him a month ago, as he replied to me about a wrong identification. He was brilliant, as always.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.
