Definitely Elachiptera. it looks quite like the Palearctic E. tuberculifera (Corti).

Thanks Jorge, Nikita, and Kahis. You folks are a fantastic resource. Stone et al (1965) "Catalog of NA Diptera" list only costata, nigripes, vittata as potentially from my area. I suspect more species have been found here since 1965. |
