It is possible to determine the genus?

Possibly Gonia pallens Wiedemann. It is not crassicornis or lineata.

I do not have modern literature for South America. I found this species in Aldrich's 1934 review of temperate South American Tachinidae. It is widespread to the north as well. If you have the regional catalog you can check if more species have been described:

Guimarães, J. H. 1971. Family Tachinidae (Larvaevoridae). A catalogue of the Diptera of the Americas south of the United States. São Paulo: Vol. 104, 333 pp.

Recorded hosts of Gonia pallens are in Noctuidae. The hosts are not closely related and it may be a generalist parasitoid of larger Noctuidae. Or it may be a cryptic complex of specialist 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
