Hi Nikita And mighty interesting ! Looks like a Pangoniinae or possibly a very weird Bouvieromyiini or Rhinomyzini (which is very poorly represented in the Australasian). I have the relevant key but would need to see the specimen myself, since I have little experience with New Guinea. Send me a PM if you want to send the material. Theo |

SO, I studied the specimen. It is the male of Scaptia (Pseudoscione) albipilosa. Known only from the type locality..... Lake Habbema ! Sounds familiar ? The other species of Scaptia (Pseudoscione) from 2000 m. is new to science. Need to work on that. Theo |

I misjudged the descriptions in the literature. It turned out to be Copidapha (previously: Scaptia) unilineata (Oldroyd, 1947) Sorry for not reporting back. Theo |
