 Hi

Another robber from mid-Wales, seen in my garden on June 9th 2009. Upland area, surrounding habitat is a mixture of grazing land and mixed woodland. Is it an usually dark, male Leptarthrus brevirostris ?

Forgot to say length ~10mm

 Hind tarsus fits that of that species.

 Thanks Paul,

It was the hind tarsus that made me think L.brevirostris, but none of the images or descriptions I could find showed it as being so black.

 It is very dark. Perhaps a little greasy...?

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
