 Six species in two genera are known from Spain: the Prosimulium hirtipes species group (4 species) and Urosimulium (2 species). All of them are recorded from south-central Spain (Madrid to the south coast).

 Thanks a lot John!!

I guess the genus determination is difficult and it needs other kind of images. I have not found any key about Simulidae in Spain, apart from those of medical interest.

 If you have a specimen under a microscope the form of the claws is likely to be different between the two genera. Claws can be simple, simple with a small "subbasal tooth", or forked with a basal "thumblike lobe". The last kind is found in species that feed on birds, and is better adapted to grasping feathers.

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
