Striped fly
Michael Becker
Hello,

can the family / genus / species of this fly (size about 1cm, from germany) be recognized?

Thanks,
Michael

It is Peplomyza (Lauxaniidae).

Hello,

thank you for your quick answer. Peplomyza litura seems to be a rather common species. Could this be? Or are there many similar species?

It seems to me that on lower wing setae on base of R4+5 vein is slightly visible, if so - it is P.litura, the most common out of totally 4 european species.

Hello,

I tried to see those bristles, but failed. Anyway - I will name those pictures Peplomyza cf. litura - the most probable possibility.

Thanks again,
Michael
