Culcua, by the key in Rozkosny & Kozanek, 2007 (Insect Syst. Evol. 38: 35-50) runs to C. argentea (with mid basitarsomere rather yellow than dark brown to black).

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.

There is a new species C. lingafelteri Woodley, 2012 which "will key to C. argentea Rozkošný and Kozánek but differs from it by having darker antennae; longer, more conspicuous pilosity on the eye; the postocular orbit narrower; conspicuous, erect black setulae present on the scutum and scutellum; and wing cell cua1 mostly hyaline."

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
