Hi, here's a strange looking Lauxaniidae fly that I have found in Sarthe (72), France. The habitus looks like Homoneura sp., it has the same black spots on the wings as Minettia inusta, but almost no bristle on the mesothorax (only 2 dc) which makes these propositions unlikely. Its posterior tibiae are also strangely bent… Any idea ?
