I've found in Zool Museum this fly collected in Kursk region, Streletskaya step, 26 May 1963. Fly is in bad condition.
Could it be ID?

Hi Nikita,

This is Empis (Polyblepharis) eversmanni Loew, 1873 [male].

All the best,

Igor

Locally quite common in steppe regions, at least of Russia and Ukraine. I collected in Voronezh.

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
