Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansel
Comment:   This species strongly resembles Hagenomyia tristis and often forms mixed swarms with H. tristis in long grass in shade. The adult has strong repugnatorial scents emmitted from thoracis glands. Larvae do not build pits, but live freely in sand.
