Location: Midwest Sweden Date: 2007-MAY-06 Habitat: Found in garden Hard to see any details on this black fly. I first thought Lonchaeidae, but I doubt it. The wing venation etc doesn't fit? It is probably some other strange family ...  Edit: Changed subject (Small black sturdy glossy fly) Edit: Changed subject (Berkshiria hungarica) Edit: Changed subject (Berkshiria albistylum) Edited by crex on 21-09-2007 12:52 |

the very transverse head with broad frons and, it appears, pointed flagellum, suggest Berkshiria hungarica. |

Stratiomyidae crossed my mind due to the broad abdomen, but it doesn't look like the common ones so ... Thank you very much Jere and David. Berkshiria hungarica! - Mmm, cool name  |

Do you have old/dead aspens (or other Populus trees) in or near your garden?

Nice species, it is a female but the species name is now Berkshiria albistylum Johnson, 1914, because it is the same species as in north America, and the older name is from there... Very nice find,,, Martin Martin Hauser |

Swedish dipterist Hans D Bartsch says the name should be Berkshiria hungarica, and so does Fauna Europaea. I'm submitting it to gallery as B. hungarica. |
