Parydra I imagine(?) following comparison with gallery images.
If so, appears to key to P.quadrifasciatus in Drake 2006.

- Yellow dusting on face.
- No prominent tubercle on scutellum.
- Appendix to wing vein.
- Wing markings indistinct
- Fan on front femora seems pale and about same length as narrowest width of femur itself.
- Silver markings at base of mid-tibia

Definitely on the larger side - perhaps 4mm or so?
About twice the size of the other small Ephydrids I photographed there.

no prominent tubercle on scutellum I believe, ruling out P.coarctata

this image from one of the other flies, but the same business

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
