Look to me like Cricotopus tricinctus (Chironomidae), female - but I'm not an expert. Greetings Kuv |

Thanks a lot - Cricotopus seems to be a good choice! But maybe it is C. trifasciatus instead? Grettings Krister |

Grettings Krister Hirvenoja (1973) separated the species: Der Raum zwischen den Lmb hell; wenn Tergit IV pigmentiert ist, befindet sich die Pigmentierung der Gegend der analmedianen Muskelmale ... trifasciatus Prsc oder der ganze Raum zwischen den Lmb dunkel, er ganz hell; wenn Tergit IV pigmentiert ist, befindet sich die Pigmentierung wenigstens in Oralecken des Tergits ... speciosus, tricinctus Lmb: "laterale Mesonotalbinden" Prsc: "Auf dem anterioren Scutum wird der Raum vor dem Scutellum, der oft stärker pigmentiert ist, von Strenzke (1959) als praescutellares Dreieck (Prsc) bezeichnet." |
