According to the revision by Hardy (1945), this is Plecia plagiata Wiedemann, 1824, which is probably the same as Plecia funebris Fabricius, 1805. |

Hi Tony & John, Very much appreciate your reply. I checked the Hardy revision and although I got stuck with the key, P. plagiata looks like a plausible candidate. Thanks, David |
