 It would be nice if somebody could identify this one. It was shot on helicrysum flowers in spring in semiarid scrubland in SE Spain. 150 masl.

Thanks,

Guillermo

 Possibly Mintho rufiventris but it might be different in southern Europe Smile

 I hesitate. Pattern on thorax is not like Mintho, vertex is too broad, wings are much darkened.
I'd say Hyperaea.

 Well, maybe not "rare" (Theo might know the Palaearctic distribution) but probably just restricted to warmer, southern countries Smile

The Palaearctic manual says "4 spp.; Mediterranean"

 Hyperaea is indeed southern. However, I'd say means I'm not sure.

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
