 Yeap, well spotted

Options are: venosus, reticulatus or nigriventris.

Venosus is easy to check on spurs on tibia 1.
Nigirventris is easy to check on the short antenna (flagellum with 5 segments only).

My guess is that it is nigriventris.

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
