I originally thought Dolichopodidae but now I am not so sure. 4 January 2011. Matagalpa Province, Nicaragua, 1000 meters elevation. On a very large leaf by a very small steam. Open areas and forest both were nearby. Length: 4.7 mm to the apex of the wing. Stephen attached the following image:  [124.49Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Why not Medetera? |

Dear Stephen, Species that have been described in Saccopheronta (now synonymized with Medetera) represent a lineage closely related to Dolichophorus. This is clearly a Neotropical Medetera belonging to the M. aberrans species group. Cheers, Marc |
