Hello.
This male of Suillia was observed on november 19th at home (north of Yonne department, France). In this case the use of the key for British species of Suillia was not useful. Since mesopleuron and pteropeuron are bare and that a fine pilosity is seen under the scutellum, it was suggested to me by evdb that Suillia humilis should be possible. What is your opinion ? All my thanks for a response and best wishes, Jean-Michel Garel.

Nobody to identify this Suillia !

Bonjour Jean-Michel, I think S. humilis should have black hairs all over the upper surface of the scutellum: http://www.spessa..._0248.html. Your fly could be S. notata without hairs on top of the scutellum and brushlike black hairs on mid femur ventrally...

All my thanks Eric.
With my best wishes.

It's not S. humilis. The pics resembles the species-group of S. parva/flavifrons . The male terminalia have to be examined...

---

Thanks Andrzej.
Sincerely yours, Jean-Michel Garel.

Scutellum appears hairy ventrally, so S. parva could be likely?

I see their traces...
