 The wing looks like Pachyneuridae, or more specifically like the American Cramptonomyia spenceri which the Europeans may have evicted from the family. I would have to review Grimaldi's book on insect evolution to see what else may have looked similar. What age is the fossil?

Edit: Probably too few veins for that group. Some other Bibionomorpha.

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
