Is it possible to tell genus and perhaps species of this fly with body 2 mm.

If it is so - I see 3 dc setae, all ac setae short and equal - Lamproscatella. Frontal triangle not shining - Lamproscatella sp. Further we have: wings hyaline without dark spots, face golden-brown - L. sibilans or wings with dark spots on rm and mcu crossveins, face silvery-grey - L. bimaculata. L.sibilans is widely distributed in Palaearctic and Holarctic. Possibly somebody will help to make final decision.Smile

Thanks for your help Cranefly.
It seems that we should have sibilans, pilosigenes and brunnipennis here in Sweden.
Could this information help to tell species?

I'd rather ID this using genitalia, as I'm not familiar with brunneipennis, but this does look like a typical British sibilans. L.pilosigenis is a synonym of L.sibilans (the original description only differs in face colour - something that can change during an individual fly's lifetime).

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
