Moved
Moved from Anthomyzidae.

Stiphrosoma (Anthomyzidae)
This is a species of Stiphrosoma. The base yellow colour and the presence of two strong notal stripes (no evidence of a median stripe) and the locality pretty much narrow the known possibilities to S.balteatum and S.setipleurum. Easily distinguished by a small cluster of setae on the anepisternum of S.setipleurum but not so easy to verify here. More likely to be S.balteatum in that it is already known from Wisconsin.

Moved
Not sure, but I think this is an anthomyzid.

Moved from Acalyptratae.
