I need help to identify some species of Diptera, which photographer in Brazil, and I ask to the members of this forum, starting with a kind family Asilidae, I photographed in March 2012, in Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro, the city where I live.

Here is the photo:

Unfortunatly, the details that are showed in photo do not permit to detect the kind of nails they have.
But your comments were very interesting, Jose.
Thank you!

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
