This Platystomatid is from a malaise trap in Townsville, QLD, Australia. It's about 5-6 mm long. Anyone knows the gnus and eventually species? Greetings Gerard Pennards attached the following image:  [107.99Kb] Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

I would go with Plagiostenopterina. It is a female and the species P. aenea Wiedemann, 1891 is most likely, but examination of the specimen would be desirable.

Thank you very much Andrew, I will check it with the publication of Mcalpine: The Australian Platystomatidae (Diptera, Schizophora) with a revision of five genera. If it's a different species I'll come back to it. Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
