thanks John, you mean like Norellisoma or Megaphthalma?
the overall appearance of the torax was more "round and thick" than I see most of the scathophaga toraxes. But why not Smile I will change the search-title

checked again the scathophaga images and it could indeed be
S.scybalaria or S. inquinita...I missed those the first time.
found another specimen yesterday for some better images.

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
