Never had Madiza glabra? Not uncommon in these parts of the world...

Noup, never. Or maybe I have but I just don't know it yet :) I'm going trough my smaller flies at the moment. A lot of nice looking creatures without any idea of the family so far. Little by little they are coming more familiar :D

Looks like a female of Milichia ludens, see http://milichiida...hia-ludens. The species is myrmecophilous.
