This Psilidae comes from the departement Gers in Southern France, it was caught May 2007. It has infuscated wings, a big normal rounded head and the arista is quite thickened. It's about 5 mm. Anyone familiar with it? Greetings, Gerard Gerard Pennards attached the following image:  [49.99Kb] Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Hi Gerard, my guess would be Chyliza extenuata which arista matches with this one.
Stephane. |

Hi Stephane, Yes, you must be right. I found it in one of my books, but I wasn't sure because my book didn't mention the darkened wings. There might be some variation in it! Thanks! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
