 It is Wagneriini no doubt.
But are you sure it is not Ramonda ?

The outer vertical seta does not seem to be that strong, and the position of the humerals is difficult to judge from these pictures (despite their excellent quality !)

 Three humerals on a straight line, meaning you are quite right !

 Thanks Theo, obviously W. gagatea is a lot rarer than Ramonda spathulata (which I see regularly) so it did need double checking.

 Ramonda prunaria should be 'common' as well, but mostly if you collect with malaise traps....

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
