 I discovered this fly in soil sample where I hoped to find Limoniidae emerging from larvae. Flat, frightful, looking like Hippoboscidae. What is it?

 Comparing with NW European species it best fits Ornithomya chloropus but a ventral vier clearly showing the colours of the head is necessary to separate it from O. fringillina with confidence.

 Based on the reference below I would arrive at C. fringillina, but with the provision that there are no other Ornithomya species in the area than avicularia, biloba, choloropus, and fringillina. I have no clue how others might fit in the key and have similar characters.

How many DNA sequences are needed for solving a taxonomic problem? The case of two parapatric species of louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae: Ornithomya Latreille, 1802). - Arthropod Systematics and Phylogeny 65(2): 119-125. (PDF)

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
