Is this Chironomidae. I suspect some of the fore legs are missing.
Malaise trap. Townsville, Queensland.

Another one, probably the same species.

Yes, female Chironomini -not much chance of an identification!

It looks like the wing is haired, which could help ID if you have a review of the local species. In my area hairy wings are limited to three related genera and one or a few other species of Chironomini.
