Thanks - I think you are right Andrzej! When I look clooser there is a vibrissa, which I donĀ“t think Psilidae has got.....

Check also pls the pale hairs on dorsal part of scutellum. I see that the costal spines
are small. Maybe it's a darker form of Suillia bicolor... Andrzej

Yes, there are onlu short, adpressed pale hairs on scutellum (no dark hairs), and short costal spines. So Suillia bicolor seems to be a very good choice. Thanks!

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
