NEW FAMILY Chyromyidae? - Gymnochiromyia

I presume there is a break in the costa by the subcastal vein (which is closely affixed to the R1)

For future reference
Generally, would this be enough of a fly's wing to show venation?

BTW, nice fly, nice find!

it's always safest to show th
it's always safest to show the whole wing... I cropped this after I already keyed it; thus this is to illustrate the important features for this group... in calyptrates, the shape of the distal end of the M vein is used extensively, which clearly wouldn't be visible in a shot like this... for acalyptrates, this is a very useful shot as it shows the shape of the subcostal vein and any breaks in the costa, as well as the anal cell
