Hi Brigitte Smile

It's an Epistrophe but not E. falva, E. falva have not black "lip". It's either E. melanostoma or E. nitidicollis.
E. melanostoma has yellow-orange hairs on the scutellum.
E. nitidicollis has brown hairs on the scutellum.

So, I would have said E. melanostomaWink

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
