 Any ideas about this small (body around 2 mm) nematocera? From a green-house in our garden in south Sweden today.

Regards

 Cecidomyiidae, subfamily Lestremiinae.

(ID changed based on second photo.)

 Runs to Lestremia or Anaretella in Jaschhof's key.

 Many thanks John Carr! Is there any key available to this subfamily with only 8 species recorded in Sweden?


Regards

 In the british key to Lestremiinae (Mikes Insect Keys) it fits well to a male Lestremia cinerea with "Gonostylus with a two-pointed tooth-like structure at the tip".

 I consulted The Wood Midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae: Lestremiinae) of Fennoscandia and Denmark, one of several publications by Mathias Jaschhof on the Lestremiinae and Porricondylinae of Fennoscandia. They are not online as far as I know.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

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’?
