I know a few of these have been posted here in the past - one of my favourite 'freaky flies' Wink Caught in a malaise trap in Western Malaysia 1999/2000 - size about 4mm. Smile

This is a species of Spaniocelyphus. This genus is easy to distinguish by the abdominal tergites - they are subdivided into a middle part and left and right lateral parts, with longitudinal sutures between. In this photo, you can tell the sutures are there, although it is not as clear as a posterior view of the abdomen!

Identifying the species is not possible without dissecting the genitalia.
