Hello! I would like to ask your help to identify this (half) fly. I think it is belonging to the family Rhagionidae based on the wing, but I haven't got any idea about the genus. I can't see well (because of the shape of the amber) but i think the anal cell is opend. Can you help me? Péter |

What I see is consistent with Rhagio. Is that a ventral shot of the end of the abdomen? The only illustration I have is dorsal. Rhagionidae are common fossils, for whatever that is worth. The family has traditionally been a dumping ground for diverse unspecialized Tabanomorpha. It probably contains several lineages that diverged in the Jurassic. |
