Hello,
I found this Heleomyzidae in a cave in Ardeche. I think it is Eccoptomera. Is it possible to confirm and may be find the species ?
Thank you.

I think I made a mistake. There are setae on mid tibia, it is probably Oecothea. The third article of antenae is not grey. Is it Oecothaea pracox ? Thank you for your help

Is it possible to confirm Oecothaea praecox or at least the genus ? Thanks.

Certainly Oecothea and from the depth of the genae, should be praecox, I think.

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
