Hi all,

I identified this Phoridae from Heelsum, the Netherlands (coll. 18-06-2023) as Megaselia badia using DNA (soft lysis). That's a species not known to occur in the Netherlands though, and many Megaselia species lack DNA references, so could someone help pointing me towards ways of confirming this identification? I tried to image the inside of the hind femur which, according to Disney's guide should look like the attached image.. not sure though!

Thanks for any help

Marcel

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
