 Received this specimen from southern Brazil.
Could this be a species of Cylindromyia?
Thanks in advance.
And sorry for the bad quality photo.

 Not Cylindromyia - just look at the shape of those antennae Smile To be able to guess more I'd need a better series of photos from more angles. Does it have a long proboscis bent back under the body?

 I see. Well, I'll take some other photos next week.
And yes, it has a big proboscis.
Thank you very much Chris!

 Some other angles...
As I have practically none experience with Tachinids I don't know what characters are important to identify them ..

 Should be Beskia cornuta, which may be a junior synonym of aelops described from North America.

 In the recently published checklist of Tachinidae, only one species of Beskia is recognized: Beskia aelops (Walker, 1849).

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
