This group of flies has been bothering me for years. I've been collecting them from various habitats all over Malaysia, but I couldn't even get close to a genus name until recently. Are these Gymnodia? Can anyone recognise these species?

Collected from highland forests:

Some of these may be Anthomyia. See

Ackland, D. M. 1987. The genus Anthomyia in the Oriental region (Diptera: Anthomyiidae). Insecta matsumurana 36:39-60 (http://eprints.li...p39-60.pdf)

Please, one specimen per thread for best clarity.
There are many genera, including an Ephydridae (last specimen).

I have dissected some specimens, they are not Anthomyia.

Sorry for putting everything in one thread. Let's consider this thread closed and I'll split it up into several threads.
