Forcipomyia sp. 2

We collected larvae of the typical form for the genus from bromeliad ( Billbergia pryamidalis ) phytotelmata at the Etelman Observatory. Adults are needed for positive identification, so it is unclear if it is a previously described species; however, it is clearly a distinct species from the previous.
