i've looked at the female and what i believe to be a male.

i will now post photos of the supposed male for you to view. I have to admit that i find the keys from Drake to be quite mystifying if this is a Scatophila because the abdomen is gray and brown. His keys start with abdomen shining black or dusted and only fifth tergite black. I have my glasses on and i do not see black. I am frustrated with Drake. I'd prefer better keys if you know of any in existence. Drake is making me mad.

Anyway, here are the photos to get the ball rolling with this species.

here is a photo of the face of what should be a male.
