Hi and happy Christmas to you all,

I'm confused by this one, looking a bit like Meiosimyza decempunctata but with the wrong colouring. Catched early November on Salix in Lund, Sweden. It's in the freeze so I can take more pictures or if you can guide me to an online key.

Patrik, Lund

According to sparse visible hints, I would say: Opomyza

Thanks again, I found the key in Brit Journal of Entomology and Natural History (1993). It should be Opomyza florum, though it is slightly strange that the thorax is not yellowish.

Color of Opomyza florum is rather variable. I would also say O. florum (female).

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
