Where did you take the picture and how big is it? It is clearly a Diptera, but it would help if you could indicate the continent?!?

Hallo Martin
Ok a dipteria, I make the foto im Salzburger Land, the dipt. I think 10 to 12 mm large.
I hope this are enough information, I found it on a stone.

This could be a female of Allognosta vagans (Dip. Stratiomyidae)- the wings are very dark for this species, but the head and the wing venetion fit.

I'd say Scenopinidae, Scenopinus species.
A new family for the gallery!Grin

I agree, I was a bitdistracted by the wing venation, or what I thought I saw... It is not a Strat,Shock it is Scenopinus. Also the body is more elongate in Scenopinus than in Allognosta!

Hi Tony,
do you think, that my very, very bad photo is good for the gallery?
I have problems with the flash. So the photo is not desirable.

I think so. It is very different in appearance to Maddin's Metatrichia, and yours shows the family's venation much more clearly. I think it's worth putting up, at least until someone submits a better picture! Wink
