Really curious where to put this specimen. Mid June at light trap near a pond, Vienna.

Hi John, I am now pretty sure that it is a Dixella. It was a pond, and Dixa should occur at streams. I fear with external morphology I won't reach species ID. Anyways, here are some more photos    Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

The first flagellomere appears cylindrical (not slightly swollen) so it should be Dixella. |
