 Hello,
After Megistocera longipennis posted in another thread, this one came to my house in Kourou (French Guiana, South America) and it looked almost beautiful with the three black marks on each side.
Please who could tell more than me about possible genus or species?

 Three genera or subgenera with long beaks: Geranomyia, Toxorhina, and Elephantomyia. Each is in a different tribe of subfamily Limoniinae (sensu Alexander).

 Ok, thanks. It really looks like a Geranomyia.

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
