uhh... And I was wondering a bit about the rather late date and the form of the thorax... awkward
I have never seen that species in real life...

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
