Any suggestion? Larvae found inside a tomato can. The smallest could be Atherigona?

This bigger one looks a bit like a Syrphidae. If I look in Rotheray's 1993 key (see: https://diptera.i...p?cat_id=4) it shows some resemblance with Ferdinandea or Eumerus, but Ferdinandea appears to be related to sap runs, but Eumerus lives in plant bulbs. I also cannot rule out Cheilosia who may look like the other two, but differs in minute details of the anal segment and mandibles.

Thanks a lot. Yes, I suspect it's an Eristalinae, but that odd abdominal flagellum makes me doubt...

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
