Muscina sp. I have
M. stabulans and
M. levida in my collection:
M. levida is darker and not so strongly striped;
M. stabulans is very close in colour, but has a narrow dark frontal vitta. So it is either
angustifrons, prolapsa or
pascuorum.
On the topic of Muscidae, I've spent the last evenings sorting through arctic
Spilogona I collected last July from northernmost Finland. They are ... not easily identified. But with the help of male genitalia one can make some sense, and the effort is well rewarded:
Spilogona tornensis, S. krogerusi, S. norvegica, and of course more normal species like
S. brunneisquama, contractifrons, depressiuscula, litorea and
pacifica. Some of those are new for Finland and I need to find someone who can confirm the identification - Adrian Pont perhaps?

Thanks. I will throw a key at it and see what happens.
As for confirmation, I guess Adrian is the person to ask. I know he has been working on Scandinavian Muscidae in the past.
