Physiphora sp. A

A fly similar but not identical to P. violacea has been recently collected and photographed in Townsville (Queensland) (Cocks 2015).

The photographs clearly show that the female has body coloration and wing venation as in P. violacea , but the parafrontal microtrichose spots are elongate, cuneiform, reaching anterior margin of frons. As no males are available, this specimen cannot be identified to species; there is a possibility that it belongs to an undescribed species. Further material, including males, is to be studied.
