I had a look through our Australian Austalis (we have most species here at CNC, including loan material for our Aussie syrphid project). It is certainly similar to some but doesn't really strike me as being in this genus. The gestault to me is more like Kertesziomyia. K. viridis is quite similar overall but the eyes are very widely separated on the unknown species. Like everyone, I look forward to seeing specimens of this some day!
