 These litle flies hover, staying in air for some time but are hard do snap. Here, a male and a female (with mites etween the eyes), resting. Hydrotaea is a proper place for them? Species ID posiible?

 Hydrotaea (Ophyra) either capensis or aenescens. I suspect capensis. Any more images?

 Could you give me the locality?
I'm asking because recently I have got series of O. capensis from 54.71°N 43.22°E. By the way, in my case it was near cattle burial ground.

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
