Yes, the coloration is due to a flash effect. There is another Mesembrina , M. intermedia, very close to M. meridiana, but this is a rare species that is not supposed to be present in France (though it wouldn't be impossible to find it in the East). So I think M. meridiana well more probable.
Stephane.

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
