Most likely it is Platypalpus pectoralis on account of the largely yellow thorax with medians tripe, the darkeneing of the costa and the rather smallish genitalia of the male.

Thank you, Paul. I saw a lot of them hunting on leafs of different plants but for me this was the first observation of a copula in this species. Regards, Ingo

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
