Recently in the Italian Enthomologists Forum (FEI) Silvano Biondi, expert in Coleoptera Attelabidae, asked for the determination of flies emerging from material collected in Gabon.
Here is the link

He is interested in knowing something more on those parassitoids and is keeping the specimens emerging from the leaves rolls collected in Gabon.
Best regards,
Carlo

Very interesting, but I have no idea which family this is.
An Acalyptratae, hence not a Tachinidae !

Hello Carlo & Theo,

This is a Chloropidae. The wing venation is diagnostic. They are known to parasitise many orders of insects. Here is an example: https://onlinelib....tb00079.x

Thanks to all.
Does anybody know a Chloropidae expert interested in examining the specimens?
Best regards,
Carlo

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
