Opomyza germinationis agg.
A small orangey fly with dark spotted wings. It is very similar to a number of other members of the group and for this reason we have used the term (cf) to denote the fact that to be absolutely certain of identification detailed examination of the specimen would be necessary. This species usually has more extensive darkening on the front margin of the wings.
