Could this be Anthomyzidae? Malaise trap, Townsville, Queensland.

Black haltere and rather convex 1st costal section - I'd favour Lonchaeidae

Thanks Nikita and Tony. The convex 1st costal segment is a handy one to put in the ID kit.

Not exclusive to lonchaeids, but combined with the dark haltere is a good indication.
