Hello,

Between the coloring and the chaetotaxy I would think this to be a female Hilara thoracica, do you agree ?
Thank you for your help.

Hello Pierre,

it is not H. tenella. I have documented H. tenella last year. For one thing, H. tenella is smaller than H. thoracica.

I think that you are correct because of the 2-3 serial ac and one serial dc. This is a female which appears to have a flattened and curved t3. It fits the description of H. thoracica in the document entitled "The Hilara species (Diptera, Empididae) of Switzerland" by Chvala and Merz. But I am not an expert.

Best wishes,
John

Thank you very much John for your detailed answer !
I understand you aren't an expert but your opinion is very well-argued, I take it as a valid confirmation.
Get well again !

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
