None of the species David suggests has a macropterous form, as far as I know, although there are similar, related species that are macropterous (but they are not usually collected in pitfalls! :(). The only genus of which I am aware that has both macropterous and brachypterous forms in the same species is
Limnellia - they are recognised by the spots on the wings. Both
suturi and
quadrata have been found as brachypterous forms (the subject of a paper which awaits completion - Oh, for a few more free days!! :@)
