Odiniidae - Traginops irroratus
Central Park, New York City, New York, USA
July 23, 2006
Top and bottom - Sciomyzidae - Dictya sp.?? Not even sure of the family. At tree sap after dark. I think about 5mm. Not sure about that either. Even more dubious about the smaller one in the center.

ID of the larger 2 flies.
Someone suggested Odiniidae for family based on habitat. In Marshall on p.511 there is a photo (#9) that looks really good. Genus is Traginops.
This would be a new family for BugGuide.

The one in the middle
seems to be the male.

Small one.
Thanks Adalbert. I wouldn't have guessed that. Any confirmation on family and/or genus?

the one in the middle
I'd bet that it's an entirely different family of flies.
