ChrisR, Stephane Lebrun, very grateful for your help.

In the other photo, Manuel only felt that "I think".
Does the identification of Hebecnema nigra in both cases could be confirmed,.?
I have more photos like flies I photographed yesterday. The will add to facilitate and complete the identification.

Best regards
José Marín

From what I can see , it is Hebecnema, and the, with black halters it is H. nigra. Mistake remains always possible with pictures. Wink

I appreciate your clarification, and I understand that those identified in this thread and the post can be considered suitable for Hebecnema nigra, accepting the possible margin of error, identification images can always bring.
However, on this occasion, if you want, I can dispel possible doubts. Wink

I reiterate my thanks for the help you and specialists Forum Fiptera lend us.

Kind regards,
José Marín

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
