 Hello,

I tried to use the key and ended with Physocephala rufipes or nigra.
Antennae look more blackish than red. Is ID possible?
I found the fly in Saxony in Germany on the last day of June.

 The short black stripes starting at the antennal implant are in good agreement with the sketch of the head of P. rufipes in the Physocephala key ( http://home.hccnet.nl/mp.van.veen/conopidae/physocephala.html ). The antennae are blackish.
Unfortunately, the characteristic black stripe below antennal implant seems to be completely hidden in the furrow below the antennae.
Is the fly shown here a Physocephala rufipes or is ID impossible?

 Nigra has the base of femora deep black.
Moreover, nigra is a strict spring species (and it is very rare).

I have no doubt this is rufipes.

 Thank you Theo for confirmation of P. rufipes and additional Information. Smile

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
