Dear fossil lovers,

I unfortunately have not a lot of experience with fossil dolichopodids, but quite some with extant species. And I can tell you with 100% certainty that this species in this piece of amber is neither a Medetera nor a Chrysotus. As far as I can see, it has the vein R4+5 and M1 diverging (like in Achalcus and Enlinia) and the hypopygium seems similar to that in Micromorphus.

Cheers,
Marc
