Can anyone suggest a family for these two flies? Collected at light. Pretty sure they are male and female. Townsville, Queensland.

Anals cell extended ans the subcoste seems to be bent forward acutely: Tephritidae? Female abdome certainly points to a family in the Tephritoidea, too.

I believe it's Hardyadrama excoecariae Lee, 1991 (Euphrantini, described from Singapore, present in Australia as far south as Mackay (as told in my sources)), also Andaman Islands and other coastal areas, rather wide-spread), develops in seeds of the mangrove Excoecaria agallocha (Euphorbiaceae). Reduced chaetotaxy of head and thorax, legs distinctly armed with spines (front femora with 1 row of ventral spines, mid and hind femora with 2 rows of ventral spines), etc. Description in Lee, 1991 (Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 39: 105-118), additional data in Permkam & Hancock, 1995 (Australian Trypetinae: Invertebr. Taxon. 9: on Hardyadrama pp. 1169-1176).

While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

I might be very wrong Graeme (as it happened before), so let's wait for Valery and his verdict... Smile

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
