 Maybe some Geranomyia (Limoniidae, Limoniinae). Long rostrum is characteristic.

 Of 11 spp. of Geranomyia recorded from Colombia so far only G. eurygramma Alexander, 1928 (Ann. ent. Soc. Am. 21: 107) has general colouration green; this is quite probably just a teneral female though (and no. of species might be times bigger).

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
