Good evening,

I am new in this forum and as coleopterist, I am keen to learn more about the diptera as I do not know anything.

Hope you can help and direct me to the right documentation to Id the beast.

This one was caught by night in a night trap in my Garden in Belgium in July.

Thanks for your help

Definitely Hilara

I must give up those post-midnight responses!

Thanks a lot.Do you know where I can find the doc for Hilara please?

Thanks

There is Fauna Entomologica Scandinavica volume 40 by Chvala, and Part 3 of Collin's "British Flies" volume on Empididae, both of which deal with Hilara.

Perfect

Hilara intermedia
