Photographed very recently in east China. Could it be a Minthoini? Or Blondelini? Thanks.

Thank you,Theo, for pointing me to Dexiini. I'll take a look at this tribe.  |

Well, there was a question mark and I just noticed the eye is hairy, so NOT Dexiini. Theo |

It reminds me of Atylostoma, though it is not the most common A. towadensis. Theo |

Thank you again Zeegers and that's terrific! There're two Atylostoma spp. (A. towadensis and A. javanum) recorded to occur in east China according to Catalog of Life China. I did a look at the image tentatively identified as A. javanum at this link (https://singapore...era-001086) and this could be the very species.  |

But vertex is much narrower here and eye is hairy, bare in Atylostoma. It is actually a perfect match with Trichoformosomyia. Theo |

Well, yes, eyes are hairy. Such subtle difference! Thank you yet again! I'll change the ID to Trichformosomyia, probably a new record of this genus from east China (Zhejiang province). |

Here is a recent review if the genus https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26146706/ It is definitely T. sauteri, so far recorded once from Szichuan. So, it makes sense, but excellent find ! Theo |
