Based on the eye-pattern, it could be Phosphuga demandata in the small family of Uliidae.

Theo may be right, but my guess would have been Lauxaniidae!

http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=360

this shape has evolved in several families.. but now i forgot in what other fly family i've seen it before..

I also 'vote' for Lauxaniidae. The long 3rd segment of antenna is typical for Lauxania, so my guess is the most common species of this genus, L. cylindricornis.

There's a picture of this fly in an old thread:

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
