Possibly Microchaetina valida, an American genus of tribe Dexiini (family Tachinidae). It was described in 1892 as a Rhinophora.

Hello John,

Though it´s a long time ago, I found your answer to my question and I like to thank you for your reaction! My computer crashed in June and I don´t have a photoprogram anymore to make the pictures nicer. Now I'm also making a photobook from our journey to USA so I didn't look at this site anymore. I'm sorry.
By the way: I found it also near Cathedral Gorges in Nevada Smile

Regards though,
Hedy

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
