Hello!

We caught some of these in Israel, been trying to key them out, but I am a bit stuck. The full Veination is a unfortunately a bit unclear in the picture...

Any help most appreciated

Best

And this one. The wings are not visible in this one, however looks very similar to the previous one. I will try to get a better picture.

Might be Coboldia fuscipes, based on the genitalis. Have a dorsal and ventral view?

Thanks!

I can take some tomorrow. I will try to get clearer pics of the wings of the other one as well. Any clue as to what that one might be?

Cheers

It has really short wings (second photo). Is it able to fly?

No idea. We caught it in a flower (long story). I think however that the angle of the wings might play a trick.

Here are some more pics of the second species.
First wings, was a bit tricky to get a picture of the full wing...

And one of the genitals...well almost at least. Again tricky to get a proper picture. I dunno how useful this is?

As for the previous post with the wings. The comment regarding the wings being short is quite accurate. They do seem fairly short!
