Is this Pardyra sp? If so, possibly not identifiable to species.

It is Parydra, possibly coarctata, but difficult to be sure.

I tried to run this through the key written by Papp L. P. coarctata should typically have a small side branch to r2 and r3 which should be visible in the second picture (see also later). However, I do not see it. P. quadripunctata can also be ruled out for the same reason. P. nubecula should have a more dusted frons, and it is rare in Hungary, so this can be ruled out. P. aquila does not have a patterned wing, which this fly clearly has. The wing veins are not wavy, which rules out undulata, which is yet to be recorder in Hungary. Then, if I see correctly this fly has 3 dc, which rules out cognata. So we are left with coarctata (it seems after all that the side branch to r2 and 3 is not always there, especially in females). The fly was largish (for an Ephydrid), and the r2and3 is quite lomng in relation to r4and5. So coarctata is likels.

The presence or absence of the appendix (side branch) of r2+3 is very variable among most species of Parydra - I regularly see specimens with the appendix on one wing, but not the other!

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
