hello Flyforum,

Yesterday I found this Muscidae sp. on a treebark (oak).

Looking at this fly I see a dark M-M vein, and curved.
Also R-M vein is a bit dark and broad.
Calypter is white with a yellow outline and quite visible.
Arista is plumosa, Antenne black
Remarkable big black palps
colour legs: black/grey - redbraun - black

I though of Phaonia sp., but what kind of Phaonia?

Late answer, I know, but this one is still bothering me.
If it is not a female Phaonia palpata, I don't know what it could be. All characters given by the keys seem to match, except for the aristal hairs that should be longer.
Don't know how important it is.

Regards,

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
