Cheilosia is very difficult with only few species easily recognizable... In https://books.goo...&hl=de p. 55 you can try to find out a group - might be Variabilis-group if the legs are really black, but the "knees" seem to be pale... So, this one is not for me. Besides, Cheilosia pictures should always include a good face profile, which is important for ID. And it always pays to look at Steven Falk's Syrphid pages, you get a lot of information (https://www.flick...690619935/).

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
