I have met this specimen for the first time last year. The Internet says that in the northwest of Russia this species is in Red book too. What situation in central regions - it is not clear.

The box is next to the microscope now and I again wonder why people cannot collect all in alcohol. It makes nearly all the features of empids so much better visible. It does not let all males look like Methuselah: shrivelled genitalia.

So a kind request: everyone who collects empids: store them in alcohol. It is easier to extract them from alcohol that to restore shrivelled specimens to full bloom.

By the way: There is at least E. tessellata, E. femorata, E. punctata and R. crassirostris. And there are some interesting looking Morroccan Empis.
