Hello,
Here is a tiny Phoridae (about 1.3mm) that I would like to identify.
Reading the gallery and this topic, I will make it Borophaga.
However, it is much smaller and the shape of the ocelli bearing protuberance seems quite different.

Do you have an idea?
Thank you!

It does not look as if vein 3 has dorsal setae, so that would rule out Borophaga. I cannot make out enough details to say with any certainty which genus it is but I would not be surprised if it is a Megaselia...

Thank you for your reply.
I was totally beside the point...
