 Hi all.
Recently, a colleague brought me some larvae in very poor condition, forming a cone on the ground like those of Myrmeleontidae.
Have you any idea of ​​what family can be? They come from Barcelona (Spain).

 Hello Jorge
welcome to the forum.

I guess you mean sandpits as those in Myrmeleontidae instead of cones on the ground. In the latter case it appears to me as small hills of sand instead of holes/pits. Dou you have some photographs of the larvae? or a link?

 As far as I am aware, the only Diptera-larvae making such sandpits are Vermileonidae.

 Hi atylotus and Menno.
I attached a image of the larvae. I have only the description of the person who brought the material. He mentioned that the larvae formed a sort of hole in the ground.

 See the FAQ. Main requirements: less than 200 kb, no spaces in file name, do not preview with the attachment.

 Vermileonidae, but from the photos I am not able to tell you whether this is Vermileo or Lampromyia.

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
