Yes, Tachydromia and with long 1tar1 and strong spines on posterior part of mesotonum and scutellum, most probably T. umbrarum. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Nikita it is collected and on pins, if needed i can do thru binocular more specific photos. i'm more specially interested because in (fauna europea)http://www.faunaeur.org/full_results.php?id=138323 is not listed for romania. just let me know. cosmln Edited by cosmln on 28-04-2007 07:56 |

There was some recent thread about Hybotidae key, you can check yourself. Or write message to Igor (it is Igor Shamshev - true family expert) Or Paul may confirm. At least change name to "T. umbrarum?" to get experts attantion  Nikita T. umbrarum is common and widespread species, but I guess fauna of Romanian Hybotidae may be so far overlooked by expers...

Hi Nikita, I think your identification is correct. And indeed no records from Romania. All the best, Igor |

Gabor, Your linked image is T. arrogans. BTW, you could find nice Nikita's pictures of Tachydromia on the Hybotidae Gallery. Igor |

The wall as well as tree bark are typical places for Tachydromia. And it is very interesting object to observe (I'm planing myself too). Some species live on wet sand too. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Gabor, Maybe this will also help you. Chvala, 1975: 244 [May-September. Very common on tree-trunks, also on palings, walls, guard-stones or telegraph-poles.] Igor |

BTW: Kovalev (1966) published very good observations on ecology of Tachydromiinae including Tachydromia (=Tachista) - but in Russian. If you can read, contact me via private message, I'll make a copy. Igor |

I've just found an identical empid in a sample from England. Looking it up in the Royal Ensoc' key it came out as Sicodus arrogans, when I put this into the British Diptera checklist this had changed the name to Tachydromia costalis. So now I am totally confused! Can someone tell me which is the correct name, please, Sue |

The BioSystematic Database of World Diptera is your friend (where I heard this before? ) -- http://www.sel.barc.usda.gov:591/diptera/names/searchno.htm Tachydromia costalis is a valid name. http://www.sel.barc.usda.gov:591/FMPro?-db=names.fp5&-format=%2fdiptera%2fnames%2fdetailno.htm&-lay=www%20detail&-sortfield=unsorted&Name=Tachydromia%20costalis&-max=10&-recid=12876309&-find= |
