 SW France yesterday. They were several around the house. Body length about 8 mm.

Could this one be a male of this genus ?

 Hi, I think it's a male Bellardia viarum - the veins are black and there are long hairs on the tergits.

 No. It is green, rather than blue, and bigger hint: calypter is very dark (white in Melinda). So it is a Bellardia.

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
