hi flyforum,

This afternoon I found this tiny fly on some piece of grass.
Must be Agromyzidae sp. I think..
It would be nice if this fly could be identified to specie-level.
Perhabs there are some characteristics parts to see on the picture?

Cerodontha, probably denticornis (named after the 'tooth' on the antenna).

hello Paul,

I will call it Cerodontha denticornis and put a questionmark next to it..
If a detail-picture of the head (antenne) can persuade C. denticornis, let me know and I will post that later.

thank's for answering,

Robert,

you need a close up of the mesonotum to see if it has acrostichals or not

I cannot make out anything of acrostichal setae on the mesonotum in these pictures, and I think they usually are rather distinct in this genus...

There are no acrostichal setae on the mesonotum.

In this detail I can see the 'tooth', then this is Cerodontha denticornis I think..Wink
