 Hello Morgan
the specimen is actually a Lauxanid - these are often confused with Lonchaeidae - but note in photo 4 the additional long setae on the frons.
This link [mail]http://lonchaeidae.myspecies.info/node/2707 [/mail] provides the relevant illustrations

 Thank you! I was a bit confused with this one, but the halters looked black to me so i ended up at Lonchaeidae, thanks for the link I will check better next time!

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
