These are nice  About the unidentified ones here:01, 04 are Micropezidae, maybe someone can help 02 Sarcophagidae, there is no hope for more ID 03: Try to attach a bigger photo in a separate thread here in forum. It is Bombyliidae or Mythicomyiidae. (Post it in a separate thread to attract specialists, and name the thread for example Bombyliidae? from Paraguay) 04: Platystomatidae again, some specialist may help (in separate thread) 07, 18, 23: Asilidae nearly hopeless to ID! 13: Tachinidae, post it rather separatly in a new thread 19, 20: Maybe Syrphidae? Try them also separately in Syrphidae sub-forum 10: Calliphoridae About the mosquitos here: try forum search, You will find similar Neotropical ones here in forum. Or ask Tony Irwin. Regards, Walter PS: The photo of Cuterebrinae would be very welcomed in the DipteraInfo gallery (as others also)

Number 5 in the indet area is much more likely to be Ulidiidae. There are very few South American platystomatids. It is probably related to genus Notogramma. In the Tabanidae section, 01 is probably Tabanus sp.; 02 is probably Poeciloderas sp.; 03 is Diachlorus sp. and 04 and 05 are Chrysops spp. The only one I might be able to get to species from these photos is the Diachlorus. |

You're welcome. Nice to hear the images are free to use, but you can submit them for the Gallery with the relevant information. Moreover, if I add them, they become listed under my name whereas it seems more fair that they would be under your name. Still, it is your choice if you want to submit them.

#5 Is a Notogramma (Ulidiidae), indeed. However, in the album "Trypetidae" the first fly is a Platystomatidae, the second is indeed, an Anastrepha sp. (Tephritidae), and the third is certainly not a fruit fly, and hardly a Ulidiidae, but IMHO, a calyptrate (Sarcophagidae?)

Bombyliidae - 3 - subfamily Ecliminae. Possible Lepidophora sp. For undetermined. photo 3 refers to Bombyliidae. Poecilognathus sp. (hembras - females) Tachinidae . 2 - possible Chrysoexorista sp., though there are other possibilities. (or even Lobomyia sp.) Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 01-03-2010 22:05 |

The Psychodidae is 99% Clogmia albipunctata, a cosmopolitan pest. Especially so, if you took the photo aroun a toilet.

The first culicid is Armigeres, I think. The other one (several pictures - with "paddles" on the legs) is Sabethes.

For the syrphids: 1 Looks like a Meromacrus sp. 2 and 3 Toxomerus sp. 4 Palpada sp. 5 Ocyptamus sp. would be my idea. 6 Ornidia sp. Greetings, Gerard Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Brachycera 08 is Lauxaniidae. Perhaps Steve Gaimari can tell more.

The tachinids are very interesting ... the Chrysoexorista (as I told Jorge) is a bit 50/50 but the image does show hairy eyes and the paper on Eulobomyia (=Lobomyia) says that this helps to split these 2 green genera - but of course there might be other green genera. I have a specimen or two here that could also be Chrysoexorista but the colour fades a few days after they are removed from alcohol  Tachinidae-03 shows what looks like a Leschenaultia sp. but this is just an educated guess because not enough is visible in the photo. The others are very nice but even with a specimen it takes a lot of work and good luck to pin a name to them. But if you ever get any specimens then I would be very happy to take them and let you know if any names result!

The Photos of non-dipterans are also really interesting. The Opiliones here are Gonyleptidae, or a very closely related family. I'll let You know in private massage if I can find out more. Walter Walter Pfliegler - Amateur Nature Photographer from Hungary (and molecular biologist) |

In order to get a quick idea about the harvestmen, it is an idea perhaps to send the pictures to Abel Perez Gonzalez. I will send you his email address in a pm. I agree with Walter about the Gonyleptidae, that is for pic no 2. The other two are also Laniatores, but I am not sure, I had to think about Cosmetidae....but I guess it is better to ask the specialist on the other side of the ocean. ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |

And one correction to make: The syrphid of which I said it looks like Meromacrus sp., is a male of Palpada melanaspis! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

The Platystomatidae specimen is a female Senopterina macularis (Fabricius, 1805).
