Anthomyiidae_Leucophora grisella(female) is correct? Region Malá Fatra Terchová about 600 m above sea level. Thank you very much for your help. I made a photo of 14.06.2011.

Anthomyiidae female, but not Leucophora (I don't think the parafacial is wide enough, and the costal spines before the break are too strong).

There seems to be a strong pre-apical pd on the hind tibia. What does anyone else think of Botanophila jacobeae/apiciseta as a possibility?

Yes, I see what you mean. I rather discounted Phorbia because the cerci didn't look backward-pointing and upcurving like the ones I have seen have seen -though it's hard to tell from the photo, and I have only seen 2 species Grin. Also I didn't see a clear av on t2, though there could well be one.

I think to see a small fine av on the first photo (on the second photo difficult to see and looks like one of the preapical setae)
The shape of the antenna,protruding forehead and strong costal spines seems also typical for Phorbia.
But.....a terrible Genus on photosSad
And i really have to collect more Phorbia species this year!

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
