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.
Regards, Sundew

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
