Thanks Nikita,
How am I ever going to this genera stuff when I can't even get the family correct?:( I have already got a headache and the six tubes of Muscids I sorted out for you before the Key arrived might be all that get done for a while. I will send a small package with the Sciomyzids this weekend and see what you make of my efforts.

Well I better go and dig it out of the scathophagid tube.:|
