Hi I got a small sample from Costa Rica mostly containing Tabanids. But this one is amazing. See the bucal apparatus. This is familiar to me but at the moment I do not know what this can be. I thought in Somatiidae... but this maybe could be a Micropezidae... and hence no new family for DI... I took these photos today. Data: Local: Puntarenas 24 km W Chacarita. Date: 18-21.II.2009 Leg: Brown and Porras Method: Malaise trap Size: medium (about 6 mm) jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [185.57Kb] Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 29-12-2009 22:48 |

Yes, Andrzej I saw it a few moments ago. It is very probable to be Micropezidae. Wing venation fits, also for the long ovipositor. grrrr.. |

Yep. I'm eager to see the next volume also because of the tachinids. |
