 Hi,
This fly I saw on the outskirts of Berlin one year ago. Can it be named?
Many thanks, Sundew

 Many thanks, Jaakko! Seems to be a booming species at the moment, we had several enquiries in May... It is new for me, so I am happy!

 I did wonder whether it was Pales but the colour wasn't very blue ... the pale tibiae and long facial ridge bristles should have been enough though I guess Smile Pales is pretty common over here.

 Prosopea nigricans shares some features with Pales and is something to look out for. I´ve only got one...

 http://tachinidae...brcno=9201 says concerning P. nigricans: "In Southern Europe locally frequent, in Central Europe very rare and probably restricted to very warm, rocky locations." That does not really fit for Berlin, except we consider the bordering tower blocks of the Gropiusstadt quarter a "warm, rocky location" Grin.

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
