 Thanks guysSmile. Nice, a snail predator! The only Discomyza known from Iberian Peninsula is D. incurva, but this one looks different, for example the front tarsi are of different colour. Is it possible that it could be another species?

 I felt it was not quite the same as other Discomyza I had seen, hence I did not put in the species name. My keys are still safely locked away in boxes so no way I could have checked. Should change soon, though. Wink

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
