I hope that Tony or somebody else give me at least genus of such unusual painted-wings Ephidridae.

I really don't know for sure - but my first reaction is that it's close to Discomyza - I hope you have retained a specimen!

Thank you Tony.
On one hand I hoped to get species name, on the other hand the fact that you don't know promises something interesting Grin
4 spp collected, but females Angry

Camarota comes from the Greek. Penna comes from Latin.
