Is this Sciaridae? Malaise trap, Townsville, Queensland.

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.
