I'm having difficulties with identifying this specimen, collected at light in "De Kaaistoep, Tilburg, the Netherlands" at August 30 2015.

I end up at Hilara tenella, but I'm not really convinced. Any ideas?

I'd say you are right. Just check whetehr eyes are broadly separated and acrostichals are in 3-4 rows (Chvála's key mentions 4 regular rows, the description give 3-4 rows). If so, "tenella is your man".

Aren't all male Hilara eyes broadly separated?

Thanks Paul. Indeed, the 4 regular rows of ac's was not matching. But I also thought the four basitarsis was a bit too swollen. But I couldn't find a better match either. So it's probably indeed Hilara tenella.

A similar 'pale' species in our region has eyes more narrowly separated. Wink

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
