I have gone through some Prosena sp. but this species I collected is much similar to Prosena siberita especially from abdominal. Is this fly of Prosena or Siphona or any other sp.

Hi Abhi

I have no idea what "Prosena luculliana" would mean. It is not mentioned in Crosskey's 1980-checklist nor on www.diptera.org.

anyways, according to Crosskey, it can only be siberita .

Sorry, that should have been "Crosskey (1976)".

Doing to much afrotropical stuff lately (1980 = Afrotropical catalogue).

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
