Hi all,

on 22th June 2020 I found this rather large fly on the underside of a Sorbus aucuparia tree in a forest in Berlin, Germany. Could you help me with identification?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Best regards,
Adrian

Dryomyzidae - Dryope flaveola perhaps

Really appreciate the help! I have never heard from this family name until now. Smile

It seems in Germany that three species are present only: Dryope decrepita, D. flaveola and Neuroctena analis, the latter I exclude, as it has dark spots on the wings around the cross-veins

Due to the large size, I conclude that it is indeed Dryope flaveola. Thanks for the help!

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
