Hello,
I came across Chloropidae Gampsocera numerata. The male has large black patterns on their wings, female not.
Are there other examples where wings of male/female heavily differ.
There are papers showing the the veins differ slightly: e.g. https://bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2148-9-110
But are there other examples, where black patterns are present/absent in male/female wings.
Regards
Lothar

The most common fly you will see is
Drosophila suzukii. The male has a black spot near the wingtip. The female wing is clear. This species is in the species group discussed in the paper you linked.
I think only males of some
Sphenometopa have wing spots.
Many species have sexual dimorphism in pattern or intensity, for example most of genus
Chrysops and one of the European
Rivellia.
