Mating flies - Echthodopa formosa - Male Female
Gallagher Fen, Clark County, Ohio, USA

Range
This is the first Ohio record I know of. Though the range was a broad swath in the revised Fisher descriptions. It was known from PA WV and KY so this is not surprising. Will add to my OH list.

It is a spring only robber. And known in my state from only three Crowley's ridge counties.
