Not Micropezidae ! Look pls at the antennal segments ;-). I think about Hybotidae !/Andrzej

Please, make a request to Paul !!! John suggested that this female could be a Chelipoda species which is actually placed in Empididae ;-)

Fore coxa more than half as long as femur, widely separated from mid coxa, fore femur swollen = Hemerodromiinae. (The fore femur is slender in one New World genus.)
