Hello all, i have a small diptera in this quite diry Burmese amber. The preservation is quite nice, but Dipteras are really hard for me to ID. Can someone give a guess on it? Thank you. Oiotoshi attached the following image:  [192.52Kb] Edited by Oiotoshi on 23-02-2023 20:38 |

Only guess as a start of discussion. May be Hybotidae?

Thank you. Hey Oiotoshi, Nice specimen! It might be a small family like Ceratopogonidae or Chloropidae, but it’s hard to be sure without clearer views of the wings or antennae. A higher-res or different-angle photo could help with ID. Either way, it’s a beautiful piece! |

Sorry, but unfortunately, not Chloropidae... Antennae and the wing venation exclude at once Chloropidae ... If you know when the hosts of Chloropid flies evolved, you wouldn't write such words ...
