Hybotidae I think. It might be a species of the genus Tachypeza, but let's wait for the experts opinion.

Hi,
Tachypeza is O.K. Unfortunately, it is impossible to identify the species.
All the best,
Igor

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
