This fly looks like a crane fly but is only 5 mm. Sorry it's in reasonably bad condition (i.e. no legs). Could this be a crane fly or maybe an Asilidae? Its face has some hairs, but I wouldn't consider it bearded.

Thanks so much! Wink

Rest assured, it is a crane fly. I think the relatively reduced venation should be a good pointer towards the genus but my book does not give an illustration of this particular venation. I may try to use the key on this one, but then you will have to be a little patient.

Dicranomyia (or Limonia in American style). Rs very short, this might lead somewhere, eyes rather big, nearly holoptic, but I'm not even sure whether cell D is open or not, so still too many options I'm afraid...

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
