Hello,

I think this Nematocera should be a Sciaridae, from the genitalia look like Sciara sp. ♂, like this one in the photo gallery, Sciara humeralis:

Yep nice find this is Sciara humeralis Zetterstedt, 1851.
A very common and widespread sciarid that inhabits swampland and wet environments. A colleague of mine has found them in lake-marshland where vegetation is breaking down.
very best wishes

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
