 One of a pair of flesh flies reared from a Crabronidae nest, 8/july/2021 (Spain: Catalonia: Girona: Girona city), 7.2 mm. Any guess of a species?

 Genus Amobia (row of hairs in place of orbital bristles).

 Thanks John, here in Spain there are only two species recorded, A.oculata and A.signata. It looks different to them, and somehow similar to the australian A.auriceps, but being a female it must be difficult to run a species, I guess

 Thanks Theo. It is in the steam chamber now. I was used to e. g. Lucilia males with well exserted genitalia and so I thought it was a female...

 Well, genitalia are highly informative in Amobia, so keep us posted

We need a lateral shot (of the genitalia)

 I guess this should be Amobia signata, but let the experts respond!

 Yes, he can !

Very clearly A. signata (unless you have some cryptic Iberian endemic)

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
