I must say again: Moegistorhynchus longirostris --- IS AN INCREDIBLE FLY! Nemestrinidae (another favorite family for me) - Moegistorhynchus longirostris. Unfortunately there is only in Africa.  http://tinyurl.co... Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 31-10-2007 14:00 |

i know Tony.  I put that link in shoutbox before I give the url for image of that fabulous fly. http://tinyurl.com/2c8d42 And there are more awesome Nemestrinidae as Atriadops vespertilio! I saw today the genus Psilodera from Acroceridae. Awesome fly.

Definitely Eurychoromyia mallea Hendel. In the next few months, I have a paper coming out about this fly and it's relatives (it's in press). Although there are a lot of other very cool lauxanioids! Such as Wawu monstruosus (van der Wulp). |

I knew this fly since 2007 Rarity? lol ... we can say: no one alive dipterologist/person has seen an ALIVE specimen of that OUT OF THIS WORLD fly...

I hate to disappoint anyone, but I have no other specimens of Eurychoromyia mallea than the 4 collected by Schnuse 100 years ago (although I have tried 3 times!). However, I've solved the "mystery" about what it "is", so to speak. I hope that'll be enough to make people happy. |
