Dear Graeme:
This is a
Physiphora (
Ulidiidae), and this is really an extraordinary finding, as this can be either another Physiphora species introduced from Africa or a native undescribed species. Collecting of additional material is strongly recommended. Larvae are common in rotting vegetables or stems of palms or succulents as Euphorbia; adults are attracted to fresh feces of bird droppings.
