I see what you mean, but I don't think it occurs in Australia. |

It should be a Odontomyia sp. (if discal cell very small or lacking, Rs unbranched and M veins reduced to a stump and a fold) - with a specimen, you can try Hardy, 1920 (Australian Stratiomyiidae, Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tas., 33-64) or 1938 (Miscellaneous notes on Australian Diptera, IV - Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 63: 70-74)

Thank you Dimitry. I have the fly in hand. Will see if I can track down these references. |
