Hi Nikita,

Unfortunately this is not one of your best pictures, but I would say it is not a sphaerocerid. It looks like this fly has markings on the wings, is that correct?

Hello Jan.
Yes, fly has markings on the wings.

The fact that the orbital plates are removed from the eye margins should be a pointer. Unfortunately, as my bed calls, I have no time to sort it out now.

Poecilosomella Duda, Sphaeroceridae (Jindřich Roh?ček, pers. comm., actually he didn't see any pictures but was quite positive when patterned wings were mentioned..)

P. punctipennis seems to be the commonest synantropic species in the region. Description of the wing of a closely related P. affinis: light brown, darkened around h, base of 2nd costal sector, fork of R2+3 and R4+5 and apex of R2+3. Arista (in the same P. affinis) about 4 times as long as 3rd antennal segment, with short cilia.
