Would really appreciate help with this small fly (~4 mm). I can't even figure out the family. Ephydridae? Lauxaniidae? Ulidiidae? Something entirely different? Found in late August in the Chiricahua mountains of Southeastern Arizona, USA.

Thanks!

Somewhere in Ephydridae.

I think this is Melanomyza or near in Lauxaniidae.

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
