Thanks Igor, I was thinking it might be Rhaphium. Smile

Ian I only have one species of Rhaphium in my Checklist which is R.brevicorne and previously posted some photos of ones I'd seen here, neither was ID'd as brevicorne, so I've bumped into a couple of new ones for my list and neither of those are among the ones you mentioned above. Shock

I am happy to check any Rhaphium specimens you may have - often its best to look at the genitalia ............ Iain

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
