Thank you

Correct. However, formosa is not a valid name anymore. I am preparing a revision during the last 20 years, hopefully, it should be finished sooner or later.

Thank you, Valery,

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
