 Hi all,

I collected this 5-mm muscid in the Mojave desert of California in a pitfall trap in early February of this year. Using Huckett 1975, it keys easily to Phaoninae, but I had trouble keying it to genus - got tentatively to Pogonomyia, but that doesn't seem right. Any ID help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Ken

 Sorry - can't seem to resize my images of the face and close up of the lateral thorax and head small enough to be posted here...

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
