Small, strange and beautiful fly from Bukidnon, Mindanao, Philippines, May 11. It would be nice to get an ID. Hopefully someone can help. Tephritidae? Leif Leif G attached the following image:  [62.38Kb] Edited by Leif G on 01-06-2022 14:38 |

I think Platystomatidae, but I do not recognize the genus. |

Thank you. I searched for Platystomatidae in South-east Asia and found the genus Poecilotraphera. Only four species are listed and Poecilotraphera taeniata seem to be a possible candidate. Leif |

The genus was revised by Steyskal (1965) but the illustrations did not scan well. https://www.biodi...part/64052 |
