 Hello,

I am not an expert in Diptera ID and I am struggling to find even the family of this fly. Is it possible to have some ID? It was taken in a private garden in the suburb of Paris (Houilles) on June 30th.

Thanks in advance!

 The family is Conopidae and genus Thecophora.

 Thecophora sp. Atra ?

A beautiful hypothesis can be slain by an ugly fact.

 Thecophora atra species-group, probably cinerascens.

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
