Photographed this darkly coloured Lauxanid (I think) in Stilbay, South Africa a week ago. Around 4mm in size. Would appreciate confirmation and ideas on furthering the ID please. The focus on the second image is poor but I include it as I thought there might somehow be info in it for the experts.

Thanks

Philip

Lauxaniidae. The contrasting pale first tarsomere of the fore leg may be distinctive.

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
