I think this is a fungi on this fly, and if it is transmitted via copulation the fly will be a male. The fly is Lispe eidsvoldica.

I have been informed that there are 3 species of Stigmatomyces associated with L. leucospila. The fungi on this fly is then Stigmatomyces sp. This fly will be sent to BOLD soon for the fly and the fungi to be barcoded.
