Hi,

I found this dead fly next to a window. Juergen said that it could possibly belong to genus Lonchaeidae. Is this correct?

Best wishes
Benedikt

Lonchaeidae is a family, not genus.

It is not a longaeid. There are flies like this in Chloropidae and Milichiidae - can't quite remember to which family this particular fly belongs to. I'd guess Chloropidae.

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
