hi Flyforum,

Two days ago I found this fly in a moth-trap.
This evening I took some photo's of it and now I am searching for it's identity..
I thought it was Anthomyidae first, but looking carefully I didn't see interfrontal bristles at all..

Does anyone know what kind of family or even species?

greeting robert,

Doesn't it looks like non-recorded for Netherlands
Nanna armillata?
