3mm, Clitheroe England, 1 May 2010. I'm not used to seeing Lauxaniids in this size. Stephen R attached the following image:  [81.09Kb] Edited by Stephen R on 13-05-2010 08:35 |

This one sank without comment. Can anyone help? I can try for better photos if needed. Stephen. |

If it is indeed Lauxaniidae it should be Cnemacantha muscaria...

Thanks Paul. It seemed to tick all the boxes for Lauxaniidae in Unwin's key, but I may have gone wrong. All the Cnemacantha muscaria in the forum have strongly darkened wings - but I think they are all female. Is the male different in this respect? Stephen. |

Hi, Cnemacantha muscaria is correct. It is not dimorfism on wings, wings of this aspecimen are unussually light. Katka |

Thank you Katka. I had another look at the specimen, and the shading on the wings is perhaps a little more apparent than in the photos, but still very light. Stephen. |
