I found this Platypezidae running about on bush leaves. Is it possible to get a genus name?

Platypezinae at least, but I canīt say (no experience and keys ask for tarsomeres and other details), in case nobody identifies it, send me any other pic, they are really nice, congratulations, I still havenīt seen any of them

Thanks paqui. Unfortunately I don't have any other views.

Male Polyporivora, it's difficult to say which species.

Thank you Black, it's great to have the genus of this specimen!:D

in that case, perhaps L. dorsalis (it seems to have a dark first terguite) :)
