Small fly photographed today adjacent to coastal bush, 20km north of Durban, KZN, South Africa. Size ~ 4mm I would guess. 3 Pictures: Pic 1: Flippie attached the following image:  [191.89Kb] |

Quite stunning! Oeciotypa hendeli Lindner, 1957 (Platystomatidae, Plastotephritinae). Check Whittington, 2003, p. 183 ff.
While others can't climb, using infinite pains, I, gravity turning to jest, Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes, Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best. |

Wow Dmitry, thank you again! This is very exciting. I looked at that very document yesterday for another Platystomatidae which Whittington sampled just down the road! Cheers, Philip |
