Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Brachycera in a bromeliad (Brazil)

These tiny Diptera were found always near a Bromeliad, in Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil.
I have no idea about the family, can anybody help me?

I found a strange larva (maybe Periscelididae) inside the phytotelma, maybe they are related?
This is the thread:

Any idea will be appreciated.
Thank you very much!!

Probably Aulacigaster

Thank you very much Dmitry!
Following your suggestion, I found a nice Smithsonian paper, indeed, they seem to be "Aulacigaster bromeliae".

I really appreciate it!!
