I have bee working through my Sciomyzids and I am finding the Pherbellia hard going, characters like 'depth of cheek greater than half of width of eye' are a bit frustrating when you only have your eye to guess with and they look about half, not greater or lesser.

So I am wondering if anybody would be willing to take a look at a few specimens for me, in alcohol or pinned, to give a baseline, I think I have only 3 or 4 species.

Thanks to anybody who volunteers ;).
