Seen today (2019-IX-7) next to my house in Massachusetts, USA. I showed photos to an expert on regional fungivorous Cecidomyiidae and he didn't recognize it despite the unusual characters.

2 mm long, about 8 globular flagellomeres, basitarsi of normal length, no tibial spurs visible, narrow complete eye bridge, horn on anterolateral margin of thorax, large pale bristles on outside of fore coxa. What I can see of the wing veins is consistent with Lestremiinae s. str. but I can't rule out Micromyinae.

Female terminalia. Too bad it flew away before I could catch it.

If wing venation is indeed of the lestremiine kind, then Mathias Jaschhof reckons it is a species of Anarete, in particular because of the 8 subglobular flagellomeres.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
