Berlin - May 2018

I think that this is Empididae Hilara species. I am seeking confirmation.
Also, anyone know where i can find keys to this genus? there are too many options in Germany.

Thank You for your time.

I found a pdf entitled "A taxonomic revision of the hilara maura group in Europe" by Chvala but there are many more possibilities. Anyone can help?

the terminalia is strange and very dark. I will try to clear it in lactic acid for better photos. I will also examine it to see how to dissect it for appropriate material.

using the following references:
A taxonomic revision of the hilara maura group - Chvala
The Hilara species (Diptera, Empididae) of Switzerland - Chvala

I arrive at Hilara maura, the most common species, especially in May.

Thanks, Paul. I always appreciate a confirmation. I am new to this field and still a bit diffident.

I notice that we don't have this species in the gallery. I'll upload some pics...

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
