 I think Tachydromiinae, probably eating the other creatures at your lights.

 Gives the impression of an Elaphropeza, but I do not know whether that is indigenous to Australia...

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
