SW France this morning. Found motionless on the outside wall. Body size slightly above 8 mm.

I thought it could be Ablabesmyia, but not so sure actually when I compare it to Tanypus especially the shape of the black mark on the wing.

Can we tell them apart with this pic ?

Scitochironomus, likely pictulus.

It has the immobile gonostylus and long fore basitarsus typical of subfamily Chironominae.

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
