 I found this tiny fly in my living room, and I'm at a loss regarding ID to even family. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Thank you! I'll try to find some keys for the local fauna (all I have are the ones in the MCAD)

 Sabrosky (1948) put the Nearctic species with short scutellum into Monochaetoscinella and Melanochaeta. I don't know if there is a good classification of Neotropical Chloropidae.

Thanks! I also reached Elachiptera using the key in MCAD, but I'm taking it with a large grain of salt since it's for Central America and I'm in central Chile.

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
