I took this at Urikaruus Bush Camp in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park in the Nothern Cape, South Arfica, in Early April this year. Probably no more than 5mm in length.

Thanks

Rhacochlaena pulchella Bezzi 1920 (Tephritidae: Adramini). Munro (1933) descrobed "var. deleta" for a South African taxon, however, the name is unavailable (as infrasubspecific name, which has never been used as a valid species group name since then), and furthermore, there is no indications in the literature, if Munro's "variation" is more than a fenon.
