It reminds me of Cylindromyia. |

Thank you both. Yes I can see the similarity to Cylindromyia. |

Wow! I didn't know you had Cylindromyia down there - I'd love to try to ID it if you could send it over any time

I'd would be happy to, except that I'm obliged to sent it to BOLD. My arrangement with them is to collect 5 of every species. If I can collect any more I'll let you know. In the mean time here is a dorsal image to tease you. Cheers, Graeme |
