empidid --- venation wing fits well, but strange.. long proboscis is absent.  (perhaps broken, but it is unusual because all empidids I caught never broke their proboscis. ) |

Long proboscis (really long that is) is really only found in Empidinae (in Europe). Other subfamilies have shorter probosces, those in Clinocerinae possibly the shortest.

Hi Paul, There are a few exceptions in Clinocerinae, e.g. Hypenella, but they are not from Europe. All the best, Igor  |

Now you understand why I included the '(in Europe)'.

This is Clinocera stagnalis. It is holarctic in distribution, found in a variety of habitats and appears to have a wide temperature tollerance. Brad Sinclair |

And this species is new for mainland Portugal. Thank you. May I ask which are the definitive characters for C. staganalis that we can see in these photos? Thank you again. Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 23-05-2007 23:31 |
