From pitfall trap on shingle/saltmarsh, Rye Harbour UK, 15/6/16. Can anyone confirm or deny drosophilidae for this one? Beyond that, I got to Drosophila but with little confidence. Thanks

Lordiphosa, presumably andalusiaca.

I found a key illustrating the ovipositor of andalusiaca and its a match (as if I could ever doubt you!). Thanks again Paul.

If it were only always this simple... I have got a male Scaptodrosophila in the office that seems to be unwilling to be ID-ed. Imagine needing to dissect male genitalia of a drosophilid for ID. awkward

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
