22.VIII.2018, Tabanan, Penebel, Gunung Batukaru, 760m. Attracted to human faeces. Wing length in collected specimens 8-12mm. I think it fits well both the original description by de Meijere, 1906 (Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung. 4: 187, Tab. II, Fig. 16) and Hendel, 1914 (Genera Insectorum 157: Taf. 5, Fig. 91, 92)

Hello Dmitry

This looks like Lamprophthalma Portschinsky, 1891

Many thanks Andrew yet I'd rather disagree. Images from Hendel, 1914.

Hi Dmitry

Oh yes, I agree with you. I didn't notice the curved R4+5.

Thanks again Andrew so I've been insistent not in vain...
