 Hi!

I found this diptera near the beginning of March, in Val di Fiemme, a valley located in North Eastern Alps (1000 m altitude).

Is it possible to identify it? I'm not able even to identify the family...

Thanx! Smile

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.

Pipunculidae from Mongolia! I am looking for specialist who is committed to ID these. There will be a lot of material coming from my expeditions.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

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.
