I realize I am asking a lot from such a poor quality picture, but can any one suggest a family? Malaise trap, Townsville, Queensland. Graeme Cocks attached the following image:  [13.45Kb] |

Is it possible Phoridae?

Not with those antennae - more likely Scatopsidae

Thanks Sara and Tony. The strong radial veins are a feature of both families, but I think I'll go with Tony's Scatopsidae because of the antenna. There is also a picture in Insects of Australia that is a pretty good match with my fly. Cheers, Graeeme |
