 It is Trypetomima completa Cresson. Rather common species in Australia.

 Thanks Tadek. Interesting that it is common. It's the first one I've seen.

 Trypetomima completa is not listed on ALA.

 I was too fast with specific identification. For sure it is Trypetomima, but it could be a new species. From museum material I know the genus is widespread (perhaps better word than common) in Australia, despite it is not listed on ALA.

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
