 I think it is Istocheta cinerea, is it possible to confirm? It came to a light trap.

 Thank you Theo. Smile I will leave it as Istocheta cf. cinerea since it seems to me that it is the most probable species considering its characteristics.

 I looked into it and I agree: it is almost certain a female cinerea.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
