Unknown genus 1

Unknown genus 1 View in CoL (total of two photos of one mating event examined: Figure 7C,D View Figure 7 )

Although we could not identify the genus in these photos, we selected this record due to the unusual mating position of the male under the female wings. Considering the male’s apparently reduced frons, lack of wing vein R2+3, and conical first flagellomere, we believe the specimens could belong to Conicera Meigen. Notably , this is another case in which the male with a modified first flagellomere mates under the female wings, as in Phlebothrix and Stichillus , possibly using its antenna to stimulate the wings.
