First, thank-you to member John F. Carr for the family ID. I would love to have any further ID information.

This pretty fly was at rest on a tall stump of dried wood. The fly measured 4 - 5 mm in length.

I can provide enlarged photos of parts of the fly if that will help.

Oh, and the place was Reserva Forestal Magallanes, just outside Punta Arenas, Chile.

If you look at Malloch 1934 maybe Darwinomyia sp?

John, Nikita, Mark, Thanks so much for the ID! After reading your comments, I sent the images to Claudio J.B. de Carvalho, who had revised the genus, and he agreed with you, Palpibracus sp. Cheers!

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
