Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Schenefeld near Hamburg, walking path along the rivulet Düpenau, bushes like Rubus, Corylus, Acer, Salix and other, first at a leaf of Rubus sp., then on my hand, 14th of September 2021. Photos: kuv.
Is my idea ok? Please help to get the ID.

We've 6 Loxocerini in Europe, 3 of which can be ruled out easily, then rule out L. aristata which has a black occiput with just a tiny white genal patch just below the eye.
Leaving the problem of differentiating between Imantimyia albiseta (yellow/amber face + arista with distinct hairs) and I. fulviventris (black face and hairs on arista less distinctive)
Try Paul Beuk's key (https://www.onlin...?key_no=34) or Phil Withers key (https://www.resea...and_specie) but resolving these two is a perennial problem and full-frontal face shots are rarely taken.

Hi Darwyn Sumner,
thank you very much for your nice ID work! I tried Paul Beuk's key and my result is still I. albiseta. OK?

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
