Tony,

This pretty Cyrtopogon female must be C. alleni, one of the rarer species of several Cyrtopogon which are restricted to extreme eastern N. America. Although I haven't actually seen representatives of this sp. in collections, I am familiar with most of the remaining American Cyrtopogon, and I have arrived at this ID by eliminating the alternatives. Excellent find & photo (as always!).

Regards, Eric

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
