Hello! this Laphriinae is from Buenos Aires, Argentina. It's possible to know the genus or species?
Looks like the same of these photos:

Atomosiini: Atoniomyia sp., prob. male. Looks to be close to A. lateropunctata (widespread neotropical sp.), as has similar type of scutal setation: fine, erect black setae among a vast number of recumbent, golden setae. Differs from lateropunctata (which has all black legs) by the extensive red-brown colors on its legs.
