Geomyza tripunctata?

Hi Nikita,

Geomyza yes; tripunctata no! This is a member of the "combinata group". Although Geomyza combinata is no longer in use as a species name, it is tempting to still call the species group "combinata group". My guess would be Geomyza hackmani, however it is difficult to be sure after a picture. Studying the genitalia would get you a positive identification. Please collect material like this! I am always very interesting in studying it!!

Thank you Jan.
1. Collected, labeled and wait for you...
2. Do you have any link with Geomysa key, in my there are not neither combinata, nor hackmani.

Hi Nikita,

GOOD that you collected the specimenSmile.

As far as I know there are no online keys to Opomyzidae, so sorry, no link. Are you sure that Geomyza combinata is not in your key? I can hardly imagine that! Literature to use:

Carles-Tolr?, M. 1993. Tri novych vida sem. Opomyzidae (Diptera) iz Ispanii [Three new species of the fam. Opomyzidae (Diptera) from Spain]. Entomologicheskoe Obozr?nie, 72(2): 410-413 (in Russian).
