We had been collecting in the area for more than an hour before these minute flies were observed. Individuals flew quickly, close to the ground, and appeared to prefer resting near the bases of shrubs rather than in open unvegetated places. The flies were difficult to get into the net as they tended to remain on the ground, even when the net had been firmly brought down around them. A number of specimens were caught by placing glass tubes over them.</paragraph>
