I have been disputing that the subject is not a Bee fly (Bombyliidae).
Can an expert please confirm the family of this fly?

Thanks.

 Preliminary ID is Ulidiidae. Perhaps Valery can say more.

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
