a very nice photo of a male Villa of the hottentotta-panisca group. i suspect it might be modesta but would need the specimen to be sure (and even then might not be).

Hi David,

thanks a lot for your help. I am sorry, i have only this foto and no specimen for the exact determination. Perhaps some informations about the location can help.
Hohtenn is a very hot place in the Canton Wallis on the southern side of the alps.

Best regards
Urs

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
