Hi, I have a few dipeterans from my sweep net collections in rice fields. I am not a diptersist and would be very happy if someone can identify my specimens upto family and genus level
Is the attached image Hydrellia?

Is not Hydrellia mor common in rice habitat. It did seem more like Hydrellia to me

Again from Nikita: he still thinks it's a Notiphila. At least in Thailand it was the commonest shore fly on rice paddies.

It works finallly, thank you Paul.
I don't think that it is Notiphila, it is Notiphila!

I agree with Kahis and Nikita - this is Notiphila. Perhaps Nikita could post one of his great Notiphila photos on the gallery? Wink
