This was also found in a swimming pool.

A chloropid (Oscinellinae) certainly, but proceeding from that observation is tricky, to say the least. The long proboscis reminds me of the genus Oscinimorpha... |

Hmm, the wing venation does not say Chloropidae to me. I'd suggest you try to compare with Milichiidae: Leptometopa.

Oh dear, you can be right, I forgot the whole family of Milichiidae and Leptometopa is unfamiliar to me as a genus. I've understood that the difference between Chloropidae and Milichiidae lies i.e. in the venation of the basal half of wing. Not too distinct here... |

As a rule of thumb: In Chloropidae the R and M veins in the apical part of the wing are located in the anterior 50-60%. This specimen clearly has veins in the posterior part of the apical half.

Looks like a female of Leptometopa latipes, see http://milichiida...pa-latipes. When I try to separate Milichiidae and Chloropidae, I mostly look for the setae on the frons (Milis with, Chloros without) and the little 'wave' in the posterior wing vein in Chloropidae (straight in Milis). Irina |
