I believe this is Hybotidae. Can anyone suggest a genus? Light trap, Townsville, Queensland.

It is for sure a Tachydromiinae, but what genus? Looking at the basal cells I had to think of Chersodromyia, which occurs in Australia, but it still doesn't look right. There are more Tachydromiinae in Australia. I am not familiar with them. Maybe Paul Beuk has a better idea?

Graeme, in this article is a key to the Tachydromiinae. I think it is indeed Chersodromyia or Nanodromia.
