Hello, I photographed this fly in the Lecceta di Torino di Sangro Nature Reserve (CH), Italy on July 7th 2020. I think it is a Miltogramminae, but is it possible to identify the genus or species from these photos? Thank you in advance, Emanuele |

I have never never seen a Milto with this colouration. Must be something special. Theo |

Nice! I looked at some of the species reported for Italy and it vaguely resembles some of the members of the genus Pterella, but I know almost nothing about the identification of these flies, so I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a totally different species. |

According to Pape (1996), Pterella has "vibrissa well developed and longer than distance between vibrissal sockets." |

The black abdominal tip strongly suggests Pterella, though. Maybe vibrissa is broken off ? Theo Edited by Zeegers on 21-12-2020 12:27 |

I would say Miltogramma, but I need to come back for a species suggestion.
