I think this is a muscid, although vein A1 very nearly reaches the wing margin.
Eyes bare, anepimeron bare. I can see just 1 small seta on the radial node on both sides of the wing - is this enough to make it Mydea ?

I thought I'd revive this one as I've been thinking about it. Could it be M.ancilla ? Unfortunately I no longer seem to have the specimen so I can't provide any more information.

Thanks Nikita. At least I know I was on the right lines.
