 Hi

I got a small sample from Costa Rica mostly containing Tabanids. But this one is amazing. See the bucal apparatus. This is familiar to me but at the moment I do not know what this can be. I thought in Somatiidae... but this maybe could be a Micropezidae... and hence no new family for DI...
I took these photos today.

Data:

Local: Puntarenas 24 km W Chacarita.
Date: 18-21.II.2009
Leg: Brown and Porras
Method: Malaise trap
Size: medium (about 6 mm)

 Yes, Andrzej I saw it a few moments ago. It is very probable to be Micropezidae. Wing venation fits, also for the long ovipositor. grrrr..

 Yep. I'm eager to see the next volume also because of the tachinids.
