Jean Hort granted me again to share this fantastic Mythicomyiidae from Western Australia. I wrote to Neal Evenhuis who told me that "(...) this is a new genus of the subfamily Psiloderoidinae. There are over 20 new genera of this subfamily". He is reviewing, at the moment, this subfamily of the world. A fantastic capture made by Jean Hort. Enjoy!

The hunchbacked posture reminds me of the Holarctic genus <i>Geron</i> (Bombyliidae). |

It resembles a Geron, but wing venation and antennae points out to mythicomyiidae. Soon we will know the name of this new genus. Stay tunned. |
