It has an extra vein in both wings and fork of Cu near mid wing. I wonder if it is Mycetophilidae. |

Thanks John. I was wondering about the extra cross vein. |

Also the spur on the hind tibia is larger than those I have seen on Sciaridae. So I'll go with Mycetophilidae. |

Any Docosia in Australia? Reminds me of that genus.

No Paul, there is no Docosia genus listed on ALA. |

Should be Tetragoneura. Definitely not Docosia. |
