Maybe a Reichertella??  Photo from Minas de Riotinto (Huelva); October 15, 2020. Thanks! Edited by Andre Burgers on 20-12-2022 15:53 errare humanum est sed perseverare diabolicum |

Looks like Scatopse notata, but let someone with more experience with this family respond. :-)

What do you think of Ferneiella incompleta, male? The wing venation and "dull, densely microtrichiose wings" from Bibionid and Scatopsid Flies, Freeman & Lane, 1985 Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

Your first idea was correct, Andres. Most certainly Reichertella geniculata. |

Ah, indeed, the wing venation is totally wrong for Scatopse notata.

Not totally wrong, Jan Willem, as the wing venation is quite similar in both species. However in Scatopse notata there is an indication of a short translucent anterior vein arising from slightly angled M1 in direction of R4+5, which is not present in R. geniculata. Ferneiella incompleta has also a stump vein arising from M1 anteriorly, but it is differently shaped. The accentuated terminal rounded bend of very long R4+5 is also characteristic of R. geniculata. |

Well, Jan Willem, eklans & Colobo, this is a very interesting conversation.  And a nice boost for my self-esteem.  Thanks, the three of you! errare humanum est sed perseverare diabolicum |
