Hello,
I think this Lauxaniidae is of the genus Minettia: stocky, fairly hairy body, pale band above the antennae, postsutural seta IA present, anterior katepisternal seta shorter than the posterior one.
I'm thinking of M. flavipalpis:
- Tergite 3 roughly the same length as T4, setae of T3 longer than all the others
- No black spots on the abdomen
- No dark bands on the thorax and scutellum
- No spots on the lower sides of the scutellum
- Scutellum glabrous above
- No presutural DC
- 4 rows of AC?
- Yellow halteres
- Aristae largely plumose
- Hyaline wings without shaded veins
What do you think, please?
