Can any one suggest a family please? The picture does not capture the abdominal colour adequately, it is quite silver. Malaise trap, Townsville, Queensland. Graeme Cocks attached the following image:  [18.38Kb] Edited by Graeme Cocks on 21-04-2011 08:47 |

More likely a Milichiella male, though with this photo it is difficult to tell. I revised the genus and described several new species from Australia. Irina |
