HI
* locality - Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL
* date - 18.11.2006
* size - 4 mm (small fly)
* habitat - open land
* substrate - leaf of Castanea sativa
hundreds of these flies around. Grape fruits in decomposition. Lots of Drosophilidae, Sarcophagidae, Calliphoridae flies! And some Syrphidae, and Polistes sp. too...
Sepsis sp. ? no spot in wings. Can be Ulidiidae fly? Not sure about the real differencem, but seems in tip of abdomen, very acute and pointed to ground in Ulidiidae fly.
I suppose this is a female fly... correct?
Thank you!

Jizz Basal constriction af abdomen gives an ant-like appearance. Sepsidae. It is (perhaps) not
Sepsis though.My
guess Nemopoda nitidula

I agree with Robert that it is Sepsidae, but disagree that Nemopoda.
Fused bm br cells look like in case of Australosepsis niviepennis.
