Only the second time in my life I’ve caught Nemestrinidae! (First was 12 years ago in Mongolia) Right at sunset as I was hiking back to my car along a ridge I heard a loud buzzing, figured it was just another Bombyliidae, then was pleasantly surprised when I saw the wing venation! And look at that gorgeous green sheen in the eyes. Specimen in collection.
Keyed out with the info on Bugguide and the Dankowicz fly guide, seems plausible.

Got a decent series of this Beameromyia below Marshall Gulch on Mount Lemmon in the Santa Catalina mountains. Saw one displaying by bouncing in the air, the others were found by sweeping shin-high grasses or on twigs. I think they key out to B. occidentis in Martin 1957 (especially with the male showing the “C” shape). Interesting how this species has an apical swelling and upturn on the abdomen (especially visible in the male) kinda like Leptopteromyia. Specimens in collection (ethanol and pinned).
