Abstract
The previously unstudied empidid fly Rhamphomyia pectinata is, like many other members of the genus, a sex-role-reversed species with highly ornamented females that gather in swarms to await the arrival of prey-bearing males. Receptive males transfer their nuptial gifts to females before mating with them in the air. Rhamphomyia pectinata is diurnal, with swarming and copulations occurring in the afternoon. Other members of the genus occur at the study site but are crepuscular.
