Hello,
This Dolichopodidae male has been collected in a yellow pan trap in coastal area of Moorea, in French Polynesia.
I think it is a male Chrysotus, maybe of the species crosbyi. Am I right ?
Thank you for the help !

Thank you for the genus confirmation.
Do you have the pdf of this publication ?
Parent O (1933) Nouvelle étude sur les Diptères Dolichopodides de la région australienne. Annales de la Société Scientifique de Bruxelles (B ) 53: 170–187.
Parent described three Chrysotus species from French Polynesia in this publication, but I can't find it.
