Hope this information is still found to be interesting :)

This appears to be this closely related genus, with more numerous acrostichal setulae than Aphaniosoma, which is associated with coastal areas (see Ebejer 2009). Tethysimyia seems to be more common in the Neotropics than Aphaniosoma, and there Caribbean Tethysimyia reported from Bonaire, French Guyana, Dominica, and the Virgin Islands (Ebejer 2023)
