Diptère mycétophilide, Diptera mycetophilidae.

Adults of this family can usually be separated from other small flies by the strongly humped thorax, well-developed coxae, and often spinose legs, but identification within the family between genera and species generally requires close study of microscopic features such as subtle differences in wing venation and variation in chaetotaxy and genitalia. (in Wikipedia)

 

Dans la famille des Mycetophilidae, les adultes se distinguent des autres petits diptères par leur thorax très bossu, leurs hanches très développées et leurs tibias souvent épineux. L'identification des espèces nécessite l'étude de la nervation alaire et celle des genitalia.
