I've seen this Gymnosoma female in Belgium (5-8-2009).
Parafrontalia not on their total length shiny black, so not nudifrons.
Scutellum only at the tip with a spot of dusting.
Could it be a female of Gymnosoma rotundatum ?

Thanks Chris Wink, so let's wait Theo to know what he think of this female.

I've found those post with pictures which look very similar to mine:

female rotundatum.

The dusting onthorax and scutellum is restricted and the last picture nicely shows it is not nudifrons: the black on the parafrontalia is restricted as well.

Thanks a lot Theo Smile.
Gymnosoma rotundatum don't seem to be common in Belgium. I think it's the first time I see it in my region (Province de Liège).

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
