Hello, Photo taken in Pontevedra (NW Iberian Peninsula) on 11/09/2015. It is possible to ID this male Chironomidae? Thanks Luis Álvarez Luis Alvarez attached the following image:  [178.03Kb] |

I'd say Psectrotanypus varius, but wing markings are a little strange...

Thank you Tony. I added a bigger photo but I do not think it helps much. Regards, Luis |

It does help. I retract my suggestion of Psectrotanypus - I think this is another tanypodine, probably in the Pentneurini. Maybe John Carr will help out with the genus? If you still have the specimen, then we should be able to get it to species.

Thanks again Tony. I'm sorry but I have not the specimen. I spend my time in photographing moths (and other animals) that come to light house at night. So white that you see in the photos is the front door. Best regards, Luis Edited by Luis Alvarez on 07-10-2015 19:35 |

Do you have a closeup of tarsomere 3 of mid leg? See this thread: http://www.dipter...d_id=67679. Note comments by user mspies, who is an expert on Chironomidae. |
