 Hi,

I have a question regarding Gastrolepta anthracina. The literature says that it lacks apical scutellar bristles, but I have a few specimens that I identified as G. anthracina and they have very small crossed apicals (see picture below). Are these too small to be considered true apicals?

 Well, it is clearly Gastrolepta.
Start investigating thr male genitalia, maybe you have a second species on the Iberian peninsula (wouldn’t be the first time )

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
