Manjua paralutea (A bee fly)

A quote from Roger Farrow about this species:

"John Bundock collected this unusual bee fly from the Brindabellas in January this year (2018).  It remained unnamed till recently when jgl, alias Jim Lumbers from ANIC, became a moderator for flies. I sent him a picture of the bee fly and he tentatively identified it as Manjua paralutea which is only known from the arid areas of Central Australia. So he suggested confirming the identity with Chrisitne Lambkin from the Qld Museum who is an expert on this group which she did.

I suggest we put it up as an extremely rare species about which more information is needed. We should be open to the possiblity that it is not a rare species breeding locally but is a seasonal migrant."

Manjua paralutea is listed in the following regions:
