This fly is 1.2mm long. Quite small. I damaged the antenna. It was on top of low foliage in my yard (Wild violets). I think it is a Doli but I am not certain. Any help on species? Keith Short Loves Park IL Keith Short attached the following image:  [34.94Kb] |

Looks like Chrysotus sp. female. Could you make a photo from the posterior part of the thorax? |

Thanks Sara and Stefan. I'll take an additional photo tonight and post it as Stefan requested. I looked at other Chrysotus sp. on BugGuide.net and they look similar. Do they not have the alternating rows of red and green eye color seen in the Condylostylus species? Keith |

The posterior part of the mesonotum is not flattened or depressed, so I think it is Chrysotus. |
