 I am assuming that this is an Ephydridae as it looks more like a frog than most of that group, but it has no rays on the arista. Is the genus possible to determine from the pictures?

 Looks like ephydrid genus Setacera, female. This genus is very close to Ephydra, but flies prefer fresh, not salt watersSmile

 Thank you very much for your advice, Cranefly. It did come from a freshwater site.

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.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
