Palloptera muliebris Not the best shot, but (quite beautiful) species still missing on JD.<br />
Naming is chaotic. Dutch species register has it as Palloptera muliebris, Fauna Europaea uses Toxoneura and Wikipedia/GBIF spell that as Toxonevra, probably in accordance with Stephen Marshal (2012).<br />
As the name from Wikipedia is imported here I&#039;ll ID it as such, but leave Palloptera in the title... Brachycera,Diptera,Jane's garden,Palloptera,Palloptera muliebris,Pallopteridae,Toxoneura,Toxonevra,Toxonevra muliebris Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro
