Very interesting fly! Appears to be genus Ectenopsis, a pangoniine, but I would like a closer shot of the antennae.

It looked familiar and it is, but I had to check:

female Pseudotabanus distincta.

The abdominal pattern and wing colouration fit superbly and the fly is known from Townsville.

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
