Herina paludum is a species of picture-winged fly in the genus Herina of the family Ulidiidae. [1]
This species is present in most of Europe ( England, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Sweden, Egypt, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Greece and Slovenia) [2] and in North Africa. [3]
Herina paludum can reach a body length of 3–4 millimetres (0.12–0.16 in). In these picture-winged flies mesonotum and abdominal tergites are shining black. Scutellum is brownish-black. The central area of the head between the eyes (frontal stripe) is velvet-black. Face is conspicuously produced anteriorly, lower face is shining black. Eyes are reddish brown. The third segment of the antennae is long and strap-like. Wings are hyaline, with few brown patches, mainly a partly brown costal cell and a rounded or band-like apical spot. Femora and tibiae are partly dark brown. [4] [5]
