Very small Doli photographed in my garden in summer. Can anyone put a name to it from this one and only shot?

Rhaphium is more probable than Argyra.

Thanks Igor I only have one species of Rhaphium on my Checklist which is R.brevicorne, but due to small size of these, others could have been overlooked. I also only have one Argyra on my Checklist..A.perplexa. So Rhaphium sp. maybe? Regards Roger |

The supapical arista and the silvery white coating on abdomen point to Argyra. Stefan |

Certainly not R.brevicorne. A.perplexa is possible.
