Hello everybody,
I'm new here but as I have some brand new microscope, I may come back often...

Well, let's go to the point, I found a cute small fly in a riverine forest near my home and collected it. I'm quite confident about the genus but I may be wrong despite that.

I don't know how to posts severals picture in the same posts, so I will do it in several one.

True Chrysotus, a useless female. You need preparation of a male genitalia for ID.

All right, too bad.

I need to know how to separate male of female in the field. I guess this has something to do with space between eyes but it is correct and shall I capture several individuals to find one male or can I see enough detail in the field ?

Thank you.
