31 May 2011, at lights, clearing near forest, Montagne de Kaw, French Guiana. If I am not mistaken the length was 3 mm to the wing apex. At a wonderful camp operated by a French man who likes Arctiinae and his wife who favors Cerambycidae. A generator powered the three insect lights. But what family is this fly?

This looks like a very nice male of Euparyphus or a close related genus...
