Abstract

Peculiarities of the Bolivian fly Eurychoromyia mallea Hendel are reviewed and information on the male sex is presented for the first time. Morphological characters of the adults indicate that it is a specialized decendant of a ropalomerid-like ancestor. A lectotype is designated for the species.
