Yes, but why not simply female Melanomyia ? Wing venation is the same. Theo |

I don't think so, Melanomya sp. do not have that many bristles on the legs and have darkened wings. I've observed a few Melanomya sp. myself.

Downes (1986) recognized one species of Melanomya s. str., M. nana with black halteres (vs. white here). The former subgenera Angioneura and Opsodexia are now full genera in North America. There is also Melanomya (Eggisops) pecchiolii which Downes distinguished based on characters I can't see clearly. |

You are totally right. I had never seen Angioneura on a flower. I am not familiar with A. cyrtoneurina, this looks good as acerba to me. Theo |
