 No, it is Hecamede albicans - it appears to have the black setae at the base if the fore basitarsis which distinguishes it from maritima, a species that has so far only been found on the coasts of the Red Sea, Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman.

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
