Oh, wow. I have no clue at all about this fly, but that does not stop me from guessing: The ovipositor makes me think of Tephritoidea. A tropical, weird tephritoid would probably be a Platystomatid

Hmmm, I was thinking more about a big Anthomyzidae!  Greetings, Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

I'd say Anthomyzidae don't exceed 5 mm... |

Still nothing too contradictive as well as too convincing (to me). If we assume it's a genus w/o pv ctenidial spine on f1 (like Typhamyza), then a distinct ventroapical seta on t2 should be present... |

Costal break apparently present, cell cup extended into acute angle, incurved frontal setae: Tephritidae according to Oosterbroek's key to Malaysian Diptera. Edited by Paul Beuk on 12-12-2007 20:15 Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

Tephritidae may be confirmed or excluded by John. I've just got another idea from Andrey Ozerov - Tanypezidae. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Tanypezidae? From what I know of them: unlikely with such an ovipositor...

2 years ago I made in Thailand, near another forest stream bad image of another fly. Fly was also about 1cm, another wing pattern, but I suppose near last one. 2 years ago I put fly as unknown Tephritidae... Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Well let's wait for Hardy's book (The fruit flies (Tephritidae-Diptera) of Thailand and bordering countries; vol. 31 of Pacific Insects Monographs) to become available online... |

In Bamboo-shoot fruit flies (Diptera : Tephritidae) of southern Thailand you have photos and description of a few Tephritidae. Maybe you can contact the author Surakrai Permkam. Email address is in the PDF file. |

It is Felderimyia cf. gombakensis D. Hancock & Drew 1995 (Malaysian J. Sci. 16A: 45-59). The only difference from the type is mostly yellow katepisternum in this specimen on the pic, which does not allow ti ID it definitivly. This, however, can be merely a variability. Bernhard Merz possibly possesses additional specimens collected in Thailand, but did not listed this species (Papp, Merz & Foeldvari 2006), which is therefore a new record. And, it certainly is a tephritid. Val Edited by Nosferatumyia on 30-12-2007 20:42 Val |
