Hi, Here is a Lauxaniid from my garden, seen in June, 2008. Could it be a Minettia, and is species ID possible? Many thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [149.99Kb] |

Hi, Minettia longiseta,  it was very simple to determine it according to Shatalkins key despite I dont know this species. (M. desmometopa has dark margin of scutellum).Katka |

LoL, I thought it might not be desmometopa because I did not see the dark margin but I don't have Shatalkin's key so I could not check.

Thanks to both of you! So it is a new species for the gallery. The inhabitants' diversity of our garden is quite impressive, the humans making a tiny minority only... Best wishes, Sundew |
