Has a Chyromyidae-like appearance over it...

Many thanks Paul !! :)

i tried to have a look at the gallery for this new family to me ... but it doesn't seem to be there : is there a synonym ?

What a mistake! We do not have a Chryomyid in the gallery. I'll submit some photos in a few days' time. Here are some photos from Xespok.

Mind you, I am not certain. Katka can tell.

very cool fly. It really seems a Chyromyidae.

This is certainly a lauxaniid. Looks like a Homoneura - I can almost see the black spines along the costa to the M1 vein. Otherwise, it could be Sapromyza.

The way the genitalia bulge out did not seem particulalry Sapromyza-like to me. You might be right with the Homoneyura.
