 Dear all,

I have a Muscidae but I can't work out the genus.

The M1 is curved and scutellum is fully dark.

Do you have any suggestion?

Montpellier, France, 21-Mar-2023

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
