 You can actually see 3 pulvilli on the middle leg.

And since it clearly is not a Strat, a Tabanid, or a Rhagionid for that matter, Acroceridae should be totally OK. The nearctic ones are very very different from the palearctic ones , so no worries it looks totally different.

 Eulonchus tristis or possibly halli according to the key by Borkent et al. in ZooKeys 619 (http://zookeys.pe...hp?id=8249). There may also be undescribed species in the area.

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
