Is this Phasiinae? Some data is written on the photo itself. This was cloud forst below mountain peaks, near the Atlantic coast of Honduras. The fly was flying along the ground in the dark forest. Stephen attached the following image: [115.57Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Very interesting - looks like a species of Cordyligaster to me but I'd have to have a specimen to say much more about it. They are a lovely genus but, like everything in the neotropics, there are probably many species yet to be discovered
