Excellent ID Reinoud; mine would also be E. candida! (It is hard to count wing cells 'double-exposed'; these guys have 3 'submarginal' cells -- with r2 separated from r3 by a complete crossvein.) |

Thanks you two. This key (http://www.hr-rna...%20key.htm) is excellent, but it is actually that difficult to count cells as Eric says. Christophe Edited by christoophe on 30-12-2015 09:15 |

: ) It was pretty hard to untangle all the veins....There is a "minor" problem with the ID, in the description of E candida it is mentioned that the bristles on the legs should be white. This specimen has a lot of black ones, local variety?
