 This nice Empididae was yesterday at La Peña, Huesca, NE Spain, 500 meters, in a zone of rocky cliffs with shadow and humidity (near a dam). Could it be identified?

 Looking through the Gallery it seems to compare well with Empis (Xanthempis) punctata. But wait for an expert opinion.

 A species of the Empis (Xanthempis) semicinerea complex. Not punctata, as that should also have a median black stripe on the greyish background.

 Hi,
Most probably your pics belong to an undescribed species. Did you collect any specimens?
Regards,
Igor

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
