Another of the Dipteran species that I photographed in Bulgaria when leading a Botanical tour recently was this Stratiomyid, found in the Trigrad Gorge on 28 June 2013. I think this is a Stratiomys species but it looks very different to S. potamida which I have seen in the UK. It looks far too hairy for that and this feature together with the rather pale abdominal markings makes me wonder if it might be S.singularior. I would though welcome any suggestions from those more experienced and knowledgeable than I am.

Many thanks

Alan

Not possible to say which species. Did you collect the specimen?

Many thanks Ruud.

Yes I have the specimen. I would be more than happy to send it to you if you would be interested. This is a genus we do not get in Britain I think.

Thank you again

Alan

Yes, I am interested. Please, send me some and I will let you know which species. I have a collection of European species, but some are still missing.
Indeed, as far as I know the genus does not occur in the UK, nor in the Netherlands. In Hungary, for example, it is pretty common.

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
