Hi! I found this pair of Petrorossia Near Faliraki, on 19.06.2015.
Is it possible to say whether they are P. hespera or P. letho? The former is known from Greece according to FE, while the other is known from Turkey, but Turkey is only 17 km away from Rhodes...
Thank for any help in advance!
Greetings,
Henrik

This is Petrorossia hespera to me. As far as I can see the hairs on frons are dark.

However, the genus is badly need of revision. P. hespera is most likely a complex of species (unfortunately for us trying to ID through pictures Sad )

Thanks a lot again, Piluca! For the time being, I am very glad with P. hespera, and will be calmly waiting for a revision Smile
Kind regards,
Henrik

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
