I think this specimen maybe Scaptomyza (Parascaptomyza) pallida but uncertain, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apologies for poor image quality.

Thanks, Ryan

Antenna and abdomina tip suggest this might be a male of Scaptomyza pallida but the specimen is either wet of fatty. Can you check if there are only two rows of acrostichals and thus confirm pallida

Hi Paul,

The specimen appears to be very fatty indeed, just checked It does have only two rows of acrostichals.

Thanks for the help,

Ryan

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
