Not Sciomyzidae. It seems a Tephritidae. Do you remember its lenght?

Looks remarkably like 'our' Dioxina bidentis...
But from Reunion island you'd better check some books first :-)

I think that Tephritinae s.f. is quite reliable.

Thank you everybody for your answers!

Valerio, body is about 4mm long.

I checked and apparently Dioxyna develops in Bidens and Tagetes genera of Asteraceae.

Both genus are well represented in Reunion island. It could be it.

A thing that is better to don't understimate is that I've no idea about Reunion island (so beautiful place!) 's tephritids. Smile So, can't be sure even about the genus.

If you change the title of the thread to include Tephritidae you may attract attention of experts on that family.

Dear all,

After discussing with a local dipterist it may be Dioxyna sororcula.

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
