The arista is tri-articulate, so Triarthria setipennis

So the portrait was useful! Didn't even see it until you notice it!
Thanks again.

Well, the arista is more than 80 % crassate, which, in itself is already a very useful feature. Any in most cases, the second segment is elongated. And then it is easy....
