Hi,

I have some difficulty to identify this Bombylius found in Brittany in a place where B. posticus is known and quite common.
posticus like with 2-3 yellow bristles just before the implant of each wing. Head of the halter dark.
Femora black and as posticus we have white scales on last tergites.
There is no black hair on abdomen (presents in posticus) but this is certainly variable and dependant on good conservation of the specimen.
Genitalia is quite different from posticus. We have a clear strangulation on gonocoxa and aedeagus last part is more round and not thin as in posticus. More dark too.

No idea for this specimen !
Any suggestion ?
Thanks,
BenoƮt

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
