That thin loop at the tail end looks like the male sexual organ of Tephritoidea, and the wings are consistent with that superfamily. Coming to light suggests a nocturnal species, and the genus Leptopyrgota of the mostly nocturnal family Pyrgotidae has an enlarged antenna and similar wing.

Hello blackdogto,

With the cell cup looking like it does, the long slender body and these kinds of antennae. I'd say Pyrgotidae.

Kind regards,

Ectemnius

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
