Swept this remarkable fly (6 mm) froma swamp in northern Norway. It keys out as Lauxaniidae, but I don't think it is one. Many setae of the head have gone lost, but there must have been 4 pairs of parafacial setea, P Postocular) bristles small, divergent, arista haired. Wing venation is compatible with Lauxaniidae. Please help! Edited by Louis Boumans on 18-01-2011 14:22 |

vi present, so not Lauxaniidae. I'd check Psilidae or Piophilidae Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Thanks a million! Aargh, difficult fly to key out! I concluded too hastiliy it wasn't a calyptrate. But even under Calyptrata, it's difficult to get to Scatophagidae as the anal vein is rather short. (This to my excuse!) |
