Hello

Today I took photos of an unkwown fly. I didn't have idea of the family, but after a few search, I think it is a Psilidae. I find it very close to Chyliza leptogaster. But since I don't know much about this family, is it possible to confirm th ID ?

Thank you in advance.Smile

Found in a wasteland around a small wood and the city.
Rosny-Sous-Bois, Seine-Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France.

Thank you for your answer, Darwyn.

With that key, I think it's either C. leptogaster or C. nova, but I think it's difficult to say more with my pictures. I don't even know if it is a male or a female. But I can see that humeri are partly orange and that the orange spot on the front is quite extensive and almost connected to the vertex (as said in this description), so it is maybe closer to C. nova ?

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
