Hebecnema (Muscidae) perhaps?

Hello Krister, first an advice : for muscidae, always provide (if possible) a dorsal view, so one can see the chaetotaxy on scutum, the frons, and the possible flecks or other pattern on abdomen + a view of tibia 3 (to separate Phaonia from relative genera). Here I can see it has some dark spots on tergits, 2+2 ks setae, so Helina comes to my mind. With black wings, it could be Helina latitarsis (should have 3 post dc - not visible here, and some long hair on pv surface of hind tibia). Can you check ?
Stephane.

Many thanks for help and good advice - I will try to remember this!

Yes ther are 3 post dc and there are long hairs on hindtibia. I suppose you mean the hairs to the left on this picture of right hindt tibia?

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
