Very possibly a new species to Norway. Did you collect it? |

@Gunnar Yes, I collected the fly. I forgot it into my photobag until I saw your message yesterday. Now it's dead and it has lost all hair. I shot a picture of the left wing, and now it looks like this... Tor S attached the following image:  [95.02Kb] best regards Tor S |

Can I see the terminalia? This is Psychodini, but not Psychoda or Trichopsychoda (Psychoda holds the wings like a roof and Trichopsychoda has a hairy wing membrane and incomplete wing forks). This means it has to be either Philosepedon, Threticus or Feuerborniella. Philosepedon is rather common in Norway this time of year, but I can't remember them being this yellowish in general coloration. However, other Psychodidae collectors tell me that the yellowish colour is typical for Threticus, which is not yet recorded from Norway! And best of all, it is a male! I'll send you my address in a pm. |
