Yves Braet received this material from Gabon (II.2018, Malaise trap) and is very curious what it might be.

What a peculiar critter! Eudasys ophrys Whittington, 2003 (Platystomatidae, Plastotephritinae). Apparently not recorded from Gabon (known from Nigeria (type loc.), Cameroun and Zaire). Compare with some images from the original description (Studia Dipterologica Suppl. 12, p. 120 ff.)

While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

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
