Hello. I think this is a Dictya sp. Can someone confirm?
From Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Hello!
Nice pictures.
The picture shows no prosternal bristels, at least one subalar bristle, a strong black spot on the face, elongate antennae, and the broadly exposed lunula – leading you with little doubt to
Protodictya.
Within
Protodictya only few species.. without studying actual material, it will be very difficult to identify this specimen. It might be
Protodictya iguassu (based on colour of legs, the ill defined lateral mesopleural stripe, length of antennae and second joint of arista, ...) but i have never seen this species before (even in collections) so I am absolutely not sure! Best practice in
Protodictya is to collect...
See you,
Jonas

Thank you very much, Jonas! There are many interesting Sciomyzidae around here.
Regards,
Lucas.
