I have worked hard trying to key this fly out using Tschorsnig and Hertings key but I just got it wrong. It was impossible. I have worked hard to find what I did wrong, but couldn´t find anything.
Finally I figured out that Smidtia amoena is not in the key! Nor in Belshaw´s key. Why?

Now I'm pretty sure it is Smidtia amoena. Am I right?
Hairy barette, 3+4 dc.

Hairy Eyes.

Look under the old name Timavia amoena.

Oh, there it is! I ignored Timavia because I thought it was a European species that did not exist in Sweden. Thanks a lot John!

If it has 4 post DC and a pretty narrow vertex, it should be OK !

The reason to unite Timavia and Smidtia is found in intermediate species from the eastern Palaearctic. As long as you don’t go to Khabarovsk, not relevant here

Yes it has. That was the problem that now is solved.
Thankyou for your confirmation.
