Then I suppose you are in Bolivia right now? If you have access to a computer, then you aren't in the right place!

(I've been to the type locality 3 times, without success

)

If someone pay to me the costs, I would go to there right now to find them!! And I know Spanish language. Yo se hablar un poco de espa?ol. No problemo.

eheh
I know that there are two German museums that have some specimens.

More... I know that you tried to find this family fly in 2001. You can invite me.

lol
And I know that you wrote an article about this one: "One less acalyptrate family? The status of Eurychoromyiidae. Abstracts, 6th International Congress of Dipterology, Fukuoka, Japan, pp 80-81."
Thank you, Steve.

Thanks Andrjez. Yep, one day I hope to find an Eurychoromyiidae fly.
I want to photograph this fly in the field! Not pinned.

Find their larvae, pupa.

I know nobody find both, just some imagos.
The unique photo available of this fly (pinned

) from CDFA.

sorry that link is dead! We recently redid the entire website (all over the state) - I just did the part for my organization. Anyway, here is the link to the pic:

Jorge - when you go on your Bolivian expedition can I be your research assistant and carry your nets?

I will travel light ... just essentials for any trip - my own nets, boxes, malaise trap, alcohol

HI
I'm glad - so many compliments.

Thank you. Thank you, zcuc.
Chris, of course!! BUT!!! (it is a big BUT) you must carry lots of ROIBOS!

then we can use the bottles for using in malaise traps.
