Hello,
my photos are from July 5, 2017, taken on the edge of Koenigsberg lake, Brandenburg, Germany. Could it be a male Themira malformans?

Thank you for answering!
Hans

Hi Hans,
Well, The first and last photo's are probably females. The other two photo's of males are certainly in the direction of T. malformans. But that species has a boreal distribution. I'd say then the most likely candidate is T. superba, a quite common species on waterfowl droppings.
Kind regards,
Ectemnius

Dear Ectemnius,

thank you a lot! Indeed picture 1 and 4 were taken four minutes before the other two. I'm sorry about my inaccuracy.

Thankful regards,
Hans

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
