Wow, these are the same species? They look like two different families! Guyana, along the Rupununi River, southern Guyana. 20 May 2013. What do I have here? Stephen attached the following image:  [105.92Kb] Edited by Stephen on 25-03-2019 22:14 --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Both flies are Keroplatidae. They certainly look different but I have no idea if there might be sexual dimorphic species in Guyana...

Ah, only my second Keroplatid photo, the other one was at my house here in West Virginia, USA. Thank-you, Paul!

Family expert Rafaela Falaschi (from Brazil) states this is Keroplatinae, Orfeliini. Thank-you to her and to Paul.
