Hello,

I photographed these flies in the Torre del Cerrano Marine Protected Area (TE), Italy on March 28th 2021. I think they are Ephydridae, but is it possible to identify their genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Compare Hecamede and Diclasiopa.

Thank you John! What are the differences between these two genera?

According to comments here, one difference is the position of the posterior notopleural bristle. The first photo shows it well above the anterior notopleural bristle, suggesting Hecamede.

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
