Coastal lagoons, Oristano, Sardinia
21st May 2010, size 14mm
Eyes in life- dark green/brown, 3 bands
Reddish antennae, narrow frons suggests Hybomitra ciureai

Neither Fauna Europaea nor Fauna Italia list any Hybomitra sp. for Sardinia, though ciureai would be expected I think? H. longipalpis (Kröber, 1923)is listed for Sicily on the Fauna Italia site but I cannot find a description or key for this species (any tips, Theo!? )
