Today I photographed this appr. 8 mm fly in a marshy area near Leerdam, Netherlands. I think (and hope) that this is my first member of the Sciomyzidae family, and I suspect it belongs to the genus Tetanocera.

Am I correct, and is it possible to tell which species it is from these photographs?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks very much again, Nikita! I suppose it is not possible to tell which species it is?

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
