Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Which Drosophilidae? > Lordiphosa andalusiaca?

In a botanical garden in the Netherlands I found a yellow-orange Drosophilidae.
Densely haired eyes, four or six(?) rows of acrostichals, arista with several branches pointing down, facia ridge seems to be extended far onto the lower part of the face; palps dark.
Can anybody help me out?

It is a Lordiphosa, wih virtually four rows of aacrostichals (yes,not easy to count them in the picture). The typical shape of oviscapt and short cerci point to L. andalusiaca.
