 Hedy,
If the specimen had a narrow face, than you are most probably dealing with Sciapus platypterus.
Cheers,

 Hello Marc,

I still have this picture, so, it must be a female Sciapus platypterus..!

Thank you for your reaction!

Hedy

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
