 Thanks Igor. Do you think the genus is Poecilobothrus then?

 Violet spot on mesonotum, strong posterior bristle on mid femur apically and convex M vein are characteristic of Poecilobothrus. Outside Europe, the two genera are poorly distiguishable.

 Dear Jfdocampo,

The only way to stop guessing and arrive at a valid and certain ID, I am afraid, is to collect some of the specimens and send them over to a specialist.

Cheers,
Marc

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
