It is either G. ornata or G. distinguenda.

Can you tell us or show us something about the antennae ?
Is the last section only 2 x as long as broad, or more like 5 X ?

Ok,

The antennae look long, in which case we are dealing with a male.
If so, the species is definitely Gonia distinguenda.
If not, this does not hold.

Anyway, it is very orange for ornata.
So ?distinguenda is the best I can do given the circumstances.

Hohtenn in the Kanton Wallis is a very worm place in the southern part of Switzerland.
Anyway thank you for the help Theo!

Best regards

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
