Hello,

this fly is from last april from the interior Sicily. According to the Fauna Europaea there is only one Limnia species on Sicily - unguicornis. Is it this species? Or is there something I didn't see which speaks against it?

Thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael,

it is not a Limnia, but seen for me like Ilione. Excluding I. albiseta, to be left after FE only I. trifaria and I. unipunctata.
Then it becomes difficult.

Hello Frank,

thank you for the correction. Do you know the difference between Ilione trifaria and I. unipunctata. Or is it hopeless to try to distinguish them with a photo?

Michael

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
