Thanks a lot, Jürgen!

The Sciaridae I used to know before were significantly smaller and had a more bell-shaped m-vein, and wings uniformly black...

But fine... every day some new learning... :-)

Regards,

Markus

I am not certain, but this venation looks more like Keroplatidae to me.

Thanks all!

At least from pictures I found on the Web, Greenomyia mongolica fits perfectly well, including wing vein pattern, color of legs, tibial spurs...

Stating Greenomyia cf. mongolica should then be ok, right?

Regards,

Markus

Yup. A publication with a key should be available online...

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
