Quite common, I guess, any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Using Revier & Van der Goot's key (Dutch) it seems to run straight to Euthycera fumigata. Nice pic!

I think it is Limnia.

Nikita,

In Revier & Van der Goot's key I see that Limnia should have bristles inside the blue "circle" in the picture below, so I think we should follow Paul here.

No Ben, I'm sure that it isn't Euthycera.
1. In hind part of mesopleura Limnia has not bristles, but small hairs, hardly visible on photo, but visible on your photo as vague small black spots.
2. Please, compare with Euthycera, it is very much another fly!

Well Nikita,

It's clear that you have more talent to deal with keys than I have.
I think I will have to reorganize my Sciomyzidae-map now.
To be sure I added two other pictures : The first one is the same fly as the first in this thread and the second is what I thought to be a typical Limnia.
So these are both Limnia sp. (male and female ??) ?

Hi Ben,
I havn't special talent, just last several days I'm trying to get in order my material of collected during the hot season Sciomyzidae. Time from time, filling deep despair in Pherbellia or Tetanocera, I check back old Sciomysidae threads to relax.
I agree with you
2. Typical Limnia sp male.
1. There are doubts, because of color of mesotonum and shape of 3-d ant. segment. But still I have no idea who else if not Limnia.
