 Came across this furry robber fly at Guantanamo, Cuba (Jan 2014).
Any suggestions on the exact species?
Kind regards,
David

 Hi John,
Many thanks for your genus ID.
I don't think it is M. orcina, but could it be M. macquartii?

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
