Hello,

Caught on a window (18 03 2012), in an urban flat near Paris. Length about 3-3,2 mm. Using the key in the Manual of nearctic diptera, I find Megaselia, but there are some steps for which I am not really sure... Is Megaselia correct ? If yes, is it possible to tell the species ?

Thanks in advance !...

Edit : this thread and this one seem to suggest Megaselia rufipes is a good candidate ?

The large setae on the back would support rufipes...

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
