To me, it looks like Euthycera fumigata (cp. http://www.dipter...;pid=39525).

Limnia is correct for sure. I had not seen one before, but now I learn that the thorax colouration (in females) is decisive. I checked my Euthycera photo collection immediately, but there are no unidentified Limnias among them. In the future I will pay attention to that genus!

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
