Hello!

Another three flies from the light here in Ostwestfalen/Germany, Sep-23-06. All are about 5-6 mm long.

Thanks again! Could the first one be a Calliopum?

It is likely, but I cannot really tell if the abdomen is yellowish (which would leave me in doubt about the identity) or greenish with the yellowish wings coveing the green abdominal colour (if it is Calliopum).

Hi J?rgen,

The second one (9) looks like Tricholauxania praeusta to me.

I have only one other photo. I'm not sure, whether this attribute is better visible on it. A little bit green seems to be there...

@Jan Willem: Thanks to you, too!

Sure enough, this is Calliopum.
