 Found these apparently "having a nice time", but cut short to end up swimming in some vodka/water mixture. Took them home to photograph..another Lazarus impersonation followed. Hmmm...weird!!

 Quite baffling: Just running it through the keys they nicely settle with Platypalpus pallidiventris BUT...

The femora are darkeked, more conspicuously so in the male than in the famle and I have not been able to find intra-specific variation described that mentions darkening of the femora. However, the male genitalia are quite distinct and I am left with no alternative species.

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
