Hello, I have several specimens of this small Dolichopididae. Where should I start to key it out? Sub family/genera? About 2mm long I guess. There were lots on Lime tree leaves today. conopid attached the following image:  [121.59Kb] Nigel Jones, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom |

Hi Nigel. Several times reading genera key I remembered genus Chrysotimus which has all goldenyellow setas. Size 2mm, female with bright-metallic-green thorax and yellow abdomen with black top. Looks that everything in your fly is siutable for Chrysotimus, doesn't it? Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
