Treatment

Unknown genus 2 View in CoL (total of two photos of one mating event examined: Figure 7E,F View Figure 7 )

We also could not identify to genus level the specimens of Figure 7E,F View Figure 7 , but these records are especially relevant as they show for the first time a probable Phoridae female aerial swarm. The females’ abdomens are extended, with a pair of lateral sacs protruding, which seems to be another case of females displaying to males (as commented here for Triphleba , Megaselia and Phalacrotophora ).
