Hello,
Today I surveyed the window sills for recently deceased flies and found a small nice one with a metallic green thorax. The frons is green as well. The aristae bear very short hairs. I hope the pics show enough details to allow a genus ID.
Thanks in advance, Sundew

That was my guess, too. I hope we can get somewhat closer...

This species is still missing in the gallery. So is your guess sure enough to allow for labeling a habit pic - say, with "cf." - for submission?
Thanks for the probable ID,
Sundew

Igor Grichoanov might still confirm it, but I am reasonably confident. There are not many species with green mesonotum, yellowish abdomen and such small size.

That's great, Igor. My accumulation of knowledge is enormous - unthinkable without the Internet! However, what would be the Internet without you?
By the way, Igor's avatar is very similar to the face of my fly, only much more alive...
Warmest thanks to all. I'll put a good pic in the gallery.

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
