It doesn't have an empidid mouth, the legs are long and thin xylophagid perhaps, the antennal arista is fairly thick and arises from the apex of the tear-drop third antennal segment.

ok. it was very crazy to give the genus. But I'm pretty sure that this is Clinocerinae. |

Thanks Jorge, Yes I understand the wing venation indicated empid, but it was very thin and leggy and no bitey mouth, but if I knew better I wouldn't have posted those awful photos. It came from a malaise trap 24-30/3/2008 beside a stream at 1150 metres, there was one other empid in the trap so I will add this to that tube and send them to the High Lord of Diptera.info himself.  |

Quite extraordinary that it would come to a Malaise trap. Normally you would get these on the water edge only. Occasionally you might sweep them from very low vegetation along streams.

The Malaise trap is only about 1 metres from the water's edge horizontally and and vertically. |

LoL, It probably was 'blown up' or 'scared' into the trap.
