In Germany there are two species of genus Lauxania: cylindricornis and minor.

It seems, that the antenna from L. cylindricornis are a little bit longer. So I Thing it is L. minor.

Thanks to John and Henrik!

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
