Hi everyone,

I need your help for this bombylid...

After a quick glance at gallery and former threads in this forum, my opinion is that the answer should either be "Exoprosopa jacchus or Exoprosopa pandora", or "unidentified Exoprosopa"

Let's say I'd prefer first option ! Grin

So, what about it ?

Exoprosopa jacchus or Exoprosopa pandora are not reliably separable without examination of epiphallus but only jacchus occurs in France.

Great David ! Many thanks !

E. pandora meanwhile should occur in France according to Fauna Europaea distribution informations. But as far as I know, this would not be the first mistake in Fauna Europaea ?...

Greathead 2001 give distribution of pandora as Balkans, Asia Minor and North Africa. However, i know that David did not dissect any mainland European pandora (pers comm) and all my own Greek specimens are jacchus. In Europe pandora probably confined to the Greek islands close to the Turkish coast.

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
