 Bibionidae : Bibio or Dilophus, difficult to say without seeing the fore tibiae (at least for me).

 I think a male of Bibio:
1. Fore tarsi appear to have apical spurs rather than rows of spines.
2. There is no row of spines near the front of the mesonotum.
3. R-M and Rs are similar length.
These characters are used for American genera but I presume they work in Europe as well.

 Species does not look familiar to me and since I have very little experience with Bibionidae from the Iberian Peninsula, I'd really need the specimen to say more

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
