This fly is from St. Martin, Lesser Antilles and was seen on flowers along a path through a hillside forest. I had it noted as Dioxyna, but I can't remember why I thought it was that, and I'm not sure it's actually correct. I will upload two photos, I have more if it helps. EDIT: Looking through the gallery on this site, I think it looks like Acinia. marcaumarc attached the following image:  [68.3Kb] Edited by marcaumarc on 19-12-2011 21:37 __________________ http://www.lesfruitsdemer.org |

Yes, an "Acinia" sp. The problem is that it is not the same genus as European Acinia, but no genus has been established for it yet.

Interesting! I just found this photo of Acinia picturata: http://bugguide.net/node/view/422604 which looks very similar, although I guess would get a new genus name once there is one.
