Hmm, I'm still not convinced about the family level of this specimen... Maybe we have to ask Steve Gaimari, what he thinks about it?

Just please note the wing venation. Take a look at the MCAD, and you'll see this is the only family with apically divergent veins R4+5 and M; neither Tephritoidea, nor Aulacigastridae show this character. Also note apically widened scutellum and midtibia with dorsoapical seta! Val |
