Does any member of Diptera Info happen to be sitting nicely and comfortably beside a good reference series of the muscid Phaonia canescens Stein?

It is a species only recently recorded from Finland but not present in museum collections here. And now I've got a male specimen which is quite near in genitals but two details don't fit particularly well with Gregor et al´s description (and also Lindner is very scant with words as to this species):

- tibiae clear yellow (should be dark/brownish yellow)
- prealar just a little more than half as long as dorcocentrals (should be as long)

Maybe I'm being too exact here, but yet these details bother...
