 A small long-legged guy, dolichopodid-looking, but with pictured wings, appeared yesterday in my garden, in a shady and moist zone. What it could be?
Thanks!

 JUST WOW! Isidro caught the fly of the month! Tachinidae or Rhinophoridae, most likely the last ones as I see very small calypters!| COLLECT !

 Hi Jorge! Species please! Thanks!
I see that I was very far from the ID, thinking in dolichopodids.
Certainly the long legs reminds a bit some calyptrates such as Lispe or Estheria.

 Tachinidae - Plesina cf. phalerata.
lucky guy to see such rarity!


The key only shows unpatterned wings for Plesina. http://science.na...ig2008.pdf Yours must be most likely the P. phalerata. Wait for Theo...

 As far as I can tell phalerata is the only (European) Plesina species with marked wings, claripennis and nigroscutellata have clear wings.

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
