It doesn't have an empidid mouth, the legs are long and thin xylophagid perhaps, the antennal arista is fairly thick and arises from the apex of the tear-drop third antennal segment.

Clinocera sp. Grin

Clinocera is an empidid fly in Clinocerinae.

ok. it was very crazy to give the genus. But I'm pretty sure that this is Clinocerinae.

Thanks Jorge,
Yes I understand the wing venation indicated empid, but it was very thin and leggy and no bitey mouth, but if I knew better I wouldn't have posted those awful photos.

It came from a malaise trap 24-30/3/2008 beside a stream at 1150 metres, there was one other empid in the trap so I will add this to that tube and send them to the High Lord of Diptera.info himself.Smile

Quite extraordinary that it would come to a Malaise trap. Normally you would get these on the water edge only. Occasionally you might sweep them from very low vegetation along streams.

The Malaise trap is only about 1 metres from the water's edge horizontally and and vertically.

LoL, It probably was 'blown up' or 'scared' into the trap. Grin
