Thanks a lot Jere - unfortunately it wasn't collected, but I'm prerry sure I can find it there again sitting on Urtica or Filipendula leaves together with Thelaira nigripes which is abundant in that location. |

I've collected a very similar one on July 10 on leaves of Corylus avellana. Size 7.5 mm. Maybe the pictures would help to confirm ID?

It is another Hydrotaea: you can see ventral spine on f3...

Hi Black. I've just collected a couple of same males. Your and my males are Hydrotaea diadolus - I'm sure, you can send images to Gallery - ventral spine on f3 + 2 very long updirected setas on apex of f2 are inmistakable! Your first female has all nessesary characters of H.diabolus too, but in this case I'd prefer to see the specimens. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
