 Good afternoon,

Can someone help me identify this fly?
I'm uncertain of to which family it belongs, as there are several similar ones.
Photos were taken on April 22, near Sintra, Lisbon, Portugal.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kind regards,

Fernando

 Do you think it might be Poecilobothrus nobilitatus? It seems to fit and its presence is given for Portugal.

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
