 Nope, got that wrong. I have collected a few before. This looks very much like Piophila contecta.

 Looks like Protopiophila latipes. Foretarsi are very characteristic. And it has been recorded from Australia already

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
