 Yes John, it is probably P. submetallica (Loew, 1852), the dark band over T3, complete marginal wing band and dark legs being diagnostic in this case.

Hi. Please delete all photos of E. carrapateira I've uploaded. I did not remember that I already had uploaded that species in particular. Except the pallidifacies (this was not present yet). Thank

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
