Hello,
Is it possible to identify this Platystomatid to genus?

It looks to be a Peltacanthina, but I have neither good key, nor reference collection of the Afrotropical species

Andrew Whittington dixit:
"This is definitely Peltacanthina (subgenus Peltacanthina). I've been working on a key to this genus, but it's a complex job to be sure. The closest that I can come is that this is near P. (P.) mythodes Hendel, 1914, although this is a southern African species and does not completely concur.

Thanks to all.
Greetings from Provence

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
