I thought about Heleomyzidae but it seems incorrect. I could use some help with this one. If more photos are necessary, then please ask. Eventually, i will examine the specimen under the microscope. Thank you for your time. edit: I will examine the species very soon and update this post. Thank You, Nikita. johnes81 attached the following image: [101.32Kb] Edited by johnes81 on 27-05-2018 21:48 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.

I will definitely examine it very soon. I'll add more photos after i examine it. I'll definitely add it to the gallery. I'm still amazed that i missed this one. I really need to strengthen my knowledge of Muscidae. I am very weak with this family. I am very grateful for your time and expertise, Nikita. Thank you. John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.

I know nothing about this genus, so i didn't know if there is anything similar. You are far superior in your knowledge of Muscidae. No doubt that you are correct. I will try to get it under the microscope this week to study it. This is my first Lispocephala. Thank you very much. Edited by johnes81 on 27-05-2018 21:52 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.
