Well, Melanogaster are not easy to tell from one another. One should see, amongst other features, details of the hairs on the thorax, the picture is a little to blury to see this. But it seems like there aren't realy clear hairs on the thorax so it could be a female Melanogaster nuda.

Thanks a lot Caliprobola, yes, I don't see any hair nor in the photos nor in the live specimens. I will put as M. nuda then. Many thanks!

Also the rather extended dark cloud in the wings suggest it is nuda Smile

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
