 The spot character for the family is the short, fat hind metatarsus. Although the wing venation is not visible, this is probably an Ischiolepta: they tend to be the scabby looking ones.

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
