The wings look hairy to me. My first impression was Polypedilum (Pentapedilum) but the wing and genitalia look more like Tanytarsini (which also has hairy wings and constricted base of tergite 8). In North America there are only a few genera of Chironomini with hairy wings. They have different genitalia (long, straight inferior volsella with long hair at tip, usually).

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
