  • $\begingroup$ Here the animal's appearance helps in a more precise identification: we're looking at a species of Clogmia Enderlein, 1937 (see here for the only New World species of the genus); this may be C. albipunctata (Williston, 1893), but southeast Asia also features native species (for the original descriptions of several New Guinea species see Pacific Insects Monograph (15), accessible here). $\endgroup$
