Hi, I think this is Asteiidae. I made some interesting videos of it, I'll show them (how to put a viewable Youtube link here?). They were on dead wood (freshly cut). Some 2 mms.

Could this one be Paranthomyza nitida (male)? |

I think Asteiidae was correct, Leiomyza sp.

for example -- for the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NieRx4HPLTs you should take the last part NieRx4HPLTs , after you must select this code and click in the youtube button. Yes, asteiid, no doubts. I agree with Stéphane. Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 12-09-2009 23:01 |

These rows of veryvery short hairs are characteristic to this family, aren't they? |

look at the wing venation. There are no transversal veins conspicuous (there are 2 very near/near the base of the wing - not visible in your photos). I only know this family to have this feature. In your photos is not visible but the arista is peculiar -- it has an alternate pair of hairs along the arista. Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 12-09-2009 23:10 |

Oh, I see now . When I saw the females of Paranthomyza nitida, I also photopraphed what I thought was a male of this anthomyzid species. Maybe it was Leiomyza sp. as well. |

It looks as if it is difficult even for them to tell males and females apart... I need to make a last confirmation but it looks like Leiomyza scathophagina with the yellow knobs on the halteres. Edited by Paul Beuk on 02-11-2017 15:55 Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

Hmm, dark knobs of the halteres after all: Leiomyza dudai Sabrosky, 1956 (dorsocentral setae about their length removed from the anterior margin of the scutellum).
