Moved from Chaetopsis.

Let's leave it here for the time being. I may have picked the correct genus, but I think we should wait for a fly specialist to confirm that.

Thanks Ken :)
Moved from Flies.

Ulidiidae, I presume.
Reminds me of Chaetopsis:



Wait for expert confirmation/correction, though.
