Hi,

according to fauna-eu, the only species occurring in Austria is Ch. bicolor.
Can the species be confirmed?

Vienna, 7.5.18

Best,
Lorin

Tony, thank you for the determination.

According to Willi HENNIG (1941), Ch. rosae is distinguished by Ch. nigricornis by a yellow coloration of the 3rd antennal segment. In my specimen, the antenna is completely black.
Does this feature still hold true nowadays? Because from what I read, only males can be separated.

The antennal colour was shown by Collin to be unreliable. Ch. rosae can have completely black antennae sometimes. There are very minor differences in eye shape and length of hairs, but male genitalia is a far better way of separating them.

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
