 I think Linnaemya comta, according to the key of Brooks (1944) the only North American species with pale-haired pleura. In place of a description he adds, "This species is sufficiently well known in both adult and immature stages so that no additional description is needed."

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
