Phronia is correct. Almost impossible to identify to species level from pictures, entirely impossible when they are females.

Paul, here is a male from the same site.
If the picture is not suffisant to get species my friend is able to send you the specimen.

I received the specimens today and as it happens I identified the same species just last week and it has quite distinctive genitalia: Phronia conformis. According to Fauna Europaea it is known from France.

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
