Hello,
Here enclosed, a link to some pictures of an heleomyzidae which as been seen in the darkness of a bunker on the Col de Tende (in the Alpes at around 1800m high) at the border France/Italy.
I am not sure whether the picture will be sufficient to determine the genus/specie, but any clue or idea are welcome.

Thanks a lot for your feedback, unfortunatly, i didn't collect it.
Are you sure about the genus Gymnomus ?
Because someone suggested Scoliocentra (villosa (?)) because of the 'short' basitarsus.
Best Regards,

Hello Andrzej,
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
As a beginner, i am not sure about what is called Mesopleuron, and since depending the authors, it seems that this term can be ambiguous, just to understand your question in the right way, i have a little adding question :
In the Fig 5 of the chapter "Thorax of Dipter" of

Many thanks again for your help

Thanks Paul for this precision
Then yes , as far as i can see on the pictures i've taken, the anepisternum of my heleomyzidae looks hairless
Is Gymnomus the only genus of Heleomyzidae having this characteristic ?

In the key to nearctic Heleomyzidae, several genera have bare anepisternum.
