these flies from heathland in southern england made me think of syntormon but the antennae are much longer than anything I can find in the gallery. And it seems to be the 2nd segment that's the long bit, not the 3rd segment as I expected

they have dark wings and look a bit like Cordilura in the net

What genus are they likely to be?

thanks,
Jeremy

thanks John, yes I thought appendiculatum and caliginosum had the longest antennae but there it is in the key

it seems to be spread right across the country

First antennal segment longer than width of third segment = Rhaphium longicorne Fall.

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
