Hello,

I photographed this fly in the Sorgenti del Fiume Vera Nature Reserve (AQ), Italy, 600m a.s.l. on May 27th 2023. I think it is a Rhagionidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

It is a small Rhagio in the funebris-complex. We did an article on the (google Rhagio aterrimus). I have never studied Italian specimen.

PS Please be on the lookout for the large Rhagio with spotted wing: in yout case, it is Rh. cavennae (and not scolopaceus). Google Rhagio atlanticus for the key.

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
