Si, the vertex is broad but lacks proclinate orbitals. Internediate.

Genitalia are decisive.Theo

Take a plastic box and put a folded old newspaper in.
Make it completely moist (ie full of damp, but just no water).
Put the fly on an itex in for 8 - 12 hours ( I do it overnight)

Then all should be flexible.

The genitalia tend to be connected with very strong muscles in Tachina.,So try the legs first. We only need a dorsal view of the syncer us, so no need to get the full genitalia completely out.

When done, block the genitalia with a pin, prevent if from bending beck in and let it dry for 24 hours.

Excellent ! Tachina fera it is, the hump on dorsal side of syncercus is characteristic.

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
