Hi,
As
Gymnocheta viridis might already be in flight in Central Europe, I'll post this one as a reminder.
G. magna is a bit later species, however at least in Finland the flight-times of the two overlap. Latest
viridis in my collection is from July 12! The female
magna specimen here is ~12 mm, so as big as the biggest
viridis. The mouth edge is a good feature distinguishing the two!
Best,
Jaakko
