I don't see any coastal breaks in the wing.

Without the option to move either image and having to compare different static images of the genitalia it is difficult to be 100% certain, but I'd say you are right.

The genitalia looks different than that of heteropygus. Are the fore or mid tarsomeres modified? You can send me a specimen for examination.

It seems not to have specially modified tarsomeres, I'll write you Stefan a private message this afternoon. Meanwhile I think is better to take out the arabic glue and put the fly inside wine spirit-alcohol?

Rafael, best is to put the specimens in at least 70% (or more) alcohol (ethanol).

During manipulation, I tried to "open" carefully all the genitalia to make you see all the pieces; may be some pieces went out (but i didn't add anything!). Now it looks more similar to heteropygus, although a female could be able to say "it's not the same" (compared to fig 216 Faune de France):
- the lower part is smoothly curved and ended in a broad appex
- the two branches of the "fork piece" are more broad
- the upper piece is also different

I think Sciapus holoxanthos Parent or its undescribed relative.
See Parent (1938). Catalonia is not far from Hyeres, type locality.

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
