The genus seems good. But how about the species?
Thanks in advance.

Genus totally OK, but wingspot is lacking ?

 Hi Paul,

It seems to be a female. Could there be a difference between sexes about the wing spot?

 No it is a male, the female is well less contrasted. I'm not a specialist, but trying to key it with Rohdendorf 1971, I end up to Sphenometopa claripennis.

 The problem is that according to FE, this species is only mentionned in Cyprus...

Females and males in this genus are quite different. Males are more eye-catching, while females resemble more typical fleshfly colours

 There are many species in this genus, many of those little known.
The genus is badly in need of a review.

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
