In a hotel garden, in the small city of Novo Airao, 180 km west of Manaus, Amazonas province, Brazil. Did not get a measurement, unfortunately, but this was not an especially small fly. It was very active, quickly investigating leaves and stems of various plants. Stephen attached the following image:  [67.45Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Probably a Cyphomyia sp. but a clearer shot of the wings would be helpful. |
