Hello,

I've recently been proposed this fly could be Otites guttata (thanks to S. Lebrun, aka Chlorophana ! Wink)

Had a glance at the diptera gallery, and indeed it seems plausible, but is it possible to confirm species on this sole picture, or are they other Otites sp which can make confusion ?

Thanks for your advice !

With the strong contrast between the lighter and darker parts of the wing it might well be O. centralis. A more detailed shot might confirm this.

Thanks, Paul.

I unfortunately don't have better view (was 4 years ago, had no numeric camera then ! arthropa.free.fr/images/css-noir/sm-mouais.gif) : it will remain Otites sp.

Hi Martha,

It's certainly not O. guttata, and I think Paul is right with O. centralis. I will have a look at my collection to confirm this.

Hi Martha,

S. Lebrun was correct and Paul and I were wrong!
It's indeed O. guttata.

Hi Martha,

The wingpattern. It much more pronounced in O. centralis.

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
