Hi Martin

yes i agree - a female of Silba fumosa - photo 4 shows clearly the 2 katepisternal setae and the longer setulae in the fringe of the calypteres - the aculeus photo is also diagnostic with the two dorsal setae half way along the apical segmant - thanks for your e-mail as well! best wishes ..... Iain

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
