Therevidae
One of the therevids. The family is being revised by a goup at the University of Illinois.

Female.
Wonder if this is the female to the pair of images of an obvious male specimen from the same locality? I'd bet on it, but what great dimorphism!

Ozodiceromyia nigrimana
The species is Ozodiceromyia nigrimana (Krober) for both of these females, as well as for the two photos of the males from the same locality. The sexual dimorphism is standard in most therevids, with males holoptic and females dichoptic, and the female less hairy. And Don is right - this genus is being revised (there are more than 80 new species!) - by me, but no longer at the University of Illinois.
