 Posted a dorsal view of S.litorea week or so ago and have been keeping a lookout for it to get lateral shots. This seems to me to be the same type, can anyone confirm????
Photographed sitting on cat shit while being a bit voyeuristic towards a pair of Piophilidae who were getting on down...or something.

 I don't think about S. litorea. No more idea for the moment.

 Seems to be a variation in the heads of this one and the one thought to be S.litorea I sent in previously (top image).

 The species is highly variable in colouration, though in the variation mentioned I have not sen the frons included.

 Hi Paul
Not only the frons is different...Orbital/Frontal (?) Bristles in the top fly are pointing outwards, whereas in the bottom one they are pointing inwards. 2 different flies ????

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
