Hello everybody,

Could anyone help me with the ID of this fly please? Is it a chyromyidae?
It has been captured in a mango orchard in Reunion Island.

Thank you!

I suppose Paul meant to write Chyromyidae instead of Chironomidae!

Chloropidae, Oscinellinae: Arcuator Sabrosky, 1985. Typical are the green-golden iridescent eyes (similar to most Chyromyidae), the yellow body colour and the backwards-curved M1+2 wing vein and (for Chloropidae) the absent anal cell or its remnants.
