 23 April 2007, New Brunswick, Canada. Length: 3.5mm.
Think I have the family correct - Sepsidae, can it be ID'd to genus?
Dorsal surface is black shiny when viewed from above, appears grey when viewed at an angle.

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
