Great, thank you so very much, Paul. I wish my many other requests for ID would also be seen by one of your experts :-) Herzliche Grüße, Jörg

Sorry, Paul. If the fore tarsomere 4 is white, then it is Sciapus pallens (Wiedemann, 1830). It seems that the species was not known from Germany. If the fore tarsomere 4 is not white, then it is Sciapus sp.
