A tiny fly with body length approx. 3mm, found near a stream in east China (Zhejiang province). What family could it possibly belong to? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Lauxaniidae, I think. It should be Lauxania and if the antennae sit on a bump, it's L. minor. https://diptera.i...d_id=95206 Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

Great! Thank you, Eric, for the ID!  It looks similar to Lauxania minor but with some minute differences( e.g. leg coloration) |
