Immediate area of the Mediterranean coast.

Although fatter, could this be it? http://www.dipter...d_id=43659

Very grateful for their identification.
With your guidance I edit the title.

But I do not speak English and only use the Google translator, I have a question: "mikii" is the name of the species, or means something else.? I apologize for my ignorance, but I prefer to be ignorant recognized that without remedy mistake ....

Best regards.

Piluca grateful. TumbsUp

Searching the Web, found no photos of that species, and had serious doubts whether this was the kind or variety of the genre.
This is what I get for not speaking English ... And thank that is "Saint Google" that but .... Frown

A warm greeting. See you in B.V.

All words in italic refer to the binomial genus/species. If I wanted to quote the genus name followed by the author name, I would have written : Lispocephala Pokorny, 1893. In this case, only the genus name is in italic, and we have to add the year after the author.
Fauna Europaea is also a good help whenever you need to know something about a taxon or a distribution.
Hope it helps.
Stephane.

Thanks Stephane.
Although I am "hard headed", all advice is good for me and I receive with gratitude. Sure over time, slowly learning and I'll tell you something less stuff without foundation ...
For this species, I have a gift for you. I'll tell you by mail.
Thanks for the link to European Fauna
Best regards from the south of Spain.

He intended to do so. It gives me satisfaction.
And I uploaded five pictures of this small fly to the Gallery.

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
