Acrocera obsoleta I think. - Acrocera obsoleta - Male
Roseville, Maidu Park, 38.7365, -121.2446, Placer County, California, USA
August 8, 2007
Size: 4 mm
Collected by sweeping on the marshy edge of a pond in dense leafy 3-4' high vegetation in the shade under oak trees.

Following 1919 Cole, and the following discussion I think this is also Acrocera obsoleta.
