 Can anyone offer an opinion on this Platypezid? Swept from woodland yesterday in the UK.

It keys to Polyporvira/Kesselimyia using Chandler (2001) - the cup cell appears too long for Polyporvira, but if it is Kesselimyia it would be new to Britain - or I have gone completely wrong in the key (despite trying five times). The latter is the most likely answer to my quandary though!

 This is Paraplatypeza bicincta - thanks to Tony Irwin for suggesting this.

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
