I do not see important details of the chaetotaxy of its head (ocellar and orbital setae), but it is very probably that it is more rare and intricating find: a Stemonocera female?

I'd say it is a female Stemonocera cornuta Scop., but it has 2 orbitals, which is a very rare atavismus in this species. The wing pattern is as in that species and also in Trypeta artemisiae, but the latter species has strong ocellar setae (absent here).

More reliable option could be T. immaculata, but again, the wing pattern is not typical for it, and the frontal setae are not reclinate.

I understand. I think the more accurate name woud be Trypeta cf. artemisiae (Stemonocera is not described in Spain "http://iberfauna....aspx"). For what it is worth, I've seen them on Senecio doria, abundant in the area.

This is another female that I photographed yesterday, looking for males or another female to check for differences, without luck.

Thanks so much

Dear Manuel, keep on looking for more. It can be something rare and interesting (if not a new species...)

Ok Valery. Thanks again. We'll remain in doubt, for now.

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
