Can anyone say what species this Sepsid is? Sepsis cynipsea? as legs and abdomen are maybe too dark for S. punctum or S.fulgens? but light can be deceptive and there may be other critical characters I don't know about...or can't be seen in this photo. I have a few more images, but the fly was moving around a lot displaying, flicking its wings in typical fashion and few are sharply focused.

Here's another angle of view showing a very dark abdomen and mostly dark legs.

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
