 Melanostoma male - probably M.mellinum, but might be M. scalare - it's difficult to be sure.

 Thanks!

Doesen't M. scalare have green(er) halteres? Or is that just female or a coincidence that mine had that?

 Scalare. Halteres are no character to use. Scalare: very dusted face. More slender, elongated abdomen.

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
