Since I have very little experience with Ephydridae, I wonder if anyone can help me out with the following specimen, collected at light on August 15th 2006 (yep, on old one) in Tilburg, the Netherlands.

Setacera, named after the extra bristle near the arista.

Difficult to say which species from this angle. Can you get a ventral shot of the abdomen?

Hi Tony,

After the direction John pointed me in, I had a look at a few keys I have on Ephydridae. I now came to the conclusion that it must be Setacera micans, given the normal setosity on the sternites.

Studied a number of other Setacera specimens from the same location and came to the conclusion that I was wrong about this being Setacera micans. Given the fact that all the males found at the same location turn out to belong to Setacera aurata, the females most probably also belong to this species.

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
