I believe this is Cecidomyiidae. Can any one suggest a subfamily or genera? Malaise trap. Townsville, Queensland. Graeme Cocks attached the following image: [56.57Kb] Edited by Graeme Cocks on 04-09-2014 21:13 |

Graham - check whether the tibiae have spurs. If so, it's Sciaridae.

I agree with Sciaridae, or less likely one of the wandering genera of Sciaroidea with no fixed abode. |
