I caught this little one here, and wanna say it is a small Bombyliidae, but something keeps screaming Mythicomyiidae in my mind... Specimen about 5 mm Any help? Thanks in advance! Gantarla attached the following image: [69.63Kb] |

It is a Bombyliidae. Looks like a Phthiria. It would be very useful to know where is 'here' located The world is very big

Mythicomyiidae wouldn't have that forked M vein, right? |

Exactly Knowing it is from Brazil makes things a lot more difficult for me I only know European Bombyliidae But the whole insect and venation fits very well with Phthiria. Still might be. At least it is something to start checking. I think the genus is found in America too. |
