Hello everyone!
I captured last week a little Bombyliidae, 6-7mm. (Charente, France, August 2014)

My research lead me to the genus Petrorossia.
What do you think?

Possible to go to the species?

thank you,

Benoît

Not a comment of much assistance at all, but fairly sure that's not Petrorossia. As far as I'm aware, Petrorossia should have the second longitudinal vein meeting the third at an acute angle to the middle cross vein, whereas yours is almost 180 degrees to the cross-vein...

Hopefully someone else can say something more constructive, though.

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
