Rhamphomyia erythrophthalma, should be relatively common in forested area, probably mostly on sandy soils, and often with (flowering) ivy in the vicinity.

Paul thank you.

I was looking in the wrong family being put on the wrong track bij the direction of the proboscis. The proboscis is not pointed downwards but more to the front as common with the Hybotidae. Probably the proboscis was 'reset' in the proces of the attack fly-bug or in detaching the fly from the bug.

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
