The identification of Palloptera anderssonii Rotheray & MacGowan, 1999 (Diptera, Pallopteridae)

Discusses Palloptera anderssonii and its differences from the very similar P. ustulata and concludes that the only reliable difference is in the male genitalia. The wing shading character is felt to be unreliable.
