Hello all,

This is Ochthera mantis? Isn't it?
Pic taken in Hasselt, Belgium 21-09-2010.

No, from the dusting pattern on the tergites, I'd say this is Ochthera manicata. Not absolutely certain because there is another similar species - O.palaearctica - which occurs in Denmark and France, so could be found in Belgium, and I have not seen material, so don't know how the pattern compares.

Thanks Tony,

I guess I urgently need a decent checklist for Belgian diptera because I wasn't aware of the other species.

Does anybody know where to get:
Grootaert, P. Bruyn, L. de & Meyer, M. de (eds), 1992. Catalogue of the diptera of Belgium - Studiedocumenten van het K.B.I.N. 70:1-338 ???? Frown

I have to admit that I was already wondering if Ochthera manicata is actually recorded from Belgium yet. It's not mentioned from Belgium on Fauna Europaea, but that doesn't mean it has not been recorded yet.
I will check the checklist tonight.

On the checklist of Belgium (1992) only Ochthera mantis is mentioned.

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
