 I photographed one today but saw this fly also several weeks ago. Though the antennae recall Keroplatidae, wing venation is Mycetophilidae. My successful search led to the monotypic genus Megophthalmidia (https://www.natur...assicornis). M. crassicornis is said to be unmistakeable.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
