Is it possible to tell genus of this fly with body 3,5 mm?
Photos from 21 mars 2014 Rö 62 N, E 17 Ångermanland, Sweden.

Thanks for your help in advance

Sphaeroceridae indeed Wink Wait for the opinion of an expert but I would bet on this one being Sphaerocera curvipes Smile Wink

Paul Beuk has been working quite extensively on Sphaeroceridae lately. Maybe he can confirm the identification. From my side I think the ID is correct.

It has most of the looks of S. curvipes. The wing venation seems to be slightly different from the specimens I have at hand (slightly more curvature in M1+2 and R4_5 perhaps a little more curved forward). Thye main reason for a slight hesitation is the fact that I cannot see individual curved spines under the hind metatarsi. Perhaps the have become cluttered with debris, making them look like a solid flange.. If you can confirm they are separate curved setae, then ID is confirmed.

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
