 How long are the coxae? I see no separation between R1 and C; is that an artifact of the angle?

Prominent tibial spurs and forked M suggest a fungus gnat (Mycetophilidae or some other Sciaroidea).

 Sorry I can't answer your questions. This is the only one I have collected and it now resides with BOLD. But thanks for your help. I'll go with Mycetophilidae.

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.
