 A stunning robber fly of the subfamily Laphriinae. Might be an Orthogonis sp. -- but can't see the diagnostic details to confirm this.

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
