This female Conopidae was found on the glass of my car, so I stopped quickcly and pick it.

- Iberian Peninsula: Catalonia: Girona province: BesalĂș: 31T DG77
- Habitat: urban in an stone oak (Quercus ilex) domain
- Date: 30/06/2014
- Size: 11 mm

I have been studying British keys and online Netherlands keys, but I couldn't get clear (appart from genus)
My doubts are between Physocephala lacera, P. pusilla, P. vaginalis and P. vittata.

Looks very similar to this picture: Physocephala vittata, cf. maculigera (1) in our gallery

Which more details are needed for species identification?

Thanks in advance,

Rafael

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
