I found this tiny fly in my living room, and I'm at a loss regarding ID to even family. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Cheers dllavaneras attached the following image:  [226.13Kb] |

Should be (close to?) Elachiptera

Sabrosky (1948) put the Nearctic species with short scutellum into Monochaetoscinella and Melanochaeta. I don't know if there is a good classification of Neotropical Chloropidae. |
