Given the black basicosta and altitude, this should be Onychogonia, probably flaviceps.

Hi Thomas


Given time of year and altitude, must be a Pseudogonia. Three very similar species.

Hi Theo,
My understanding is that-

Onychogonia is more alpine than Pseudogonia and that both are flying in July/August.
Onychogonia has the yellow waxy frons of Gonia whereas Pseudogonia has a dark frons.
So this would be Onychogonia.

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
