Fortunately, the "sex combs" on the two basal joints of fore tarsi are (barely) visible. Drosophila obscura group.

Thank you very much! I will try to keep the legs more in focus.

Are the species of Drosophila obscura group (believe "D. obscura/subobscura" in NL) distinguishable without genital dissection?

Principally yes, just the photos (of forelegs, palpi, abdominal end...) should be much better. I believe that more species occur in NL (ambigua, tristis...).

Noted, will keep this in mind for the next pictures (if I even succeed). You are right about the other species. Thank you!

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
