 Hello,

I photographed these flies in Bazzano (AQ), Italy on April 18th 2021. I think they are Ephydridae (maybe genus Limnellia?), but is it possible to identify their species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

 A pair of Limnellia quadrata - the two darker spots "hanging off" the central wing vein is distinctive

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
