Hello Paul and Dick,

I found A. nigrinus with at least a thousand specimens this year near Arnhem, Landgoed Mariendaal together with Sphaerocera monilis on rotten funghi. I observed the behavior of A. nigrinus and am writing an article about my observations.

Greetings,

Elias de Bree (alias Ectemnius)

Can you send me some details about Sphaerocera monilis, too? This species still needs to be recorded from the Netherlands formally and I have at least four other localities.

Hi Paul,

I'll send you a pair of S. monilis if you want.

Greetings,

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
