Here is another tiny Ephydrid from the place described in https://diptera.i..._id=106981. I found the white face striking. Is it another Parydra or something else?
Thanks for help, Sundew

Wing venation says Sphaeroceridae - I suspect this is Pseudocollinella humida (often mistaken for an ephydrid).

That is an interesting twist! So an "ephydridish" Sphaerocerid. Thread https://www.dipte..._id=104115 led me to the paper by Gatt (2001, https://www.biodi...9/mode/1up) and the differentiation of the species P. humida and P. jorlii. Conclusion: I need a better picture of the middle tibia. I hope I'll see the flies again, the water-filled rut is certainly dry by now in the heat.
Many thanks, Tony!

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
