 Am I correct with Myospila? I'm working without a key, just finding scraps of info here and there, checking the gallery and previous posts. If I'm on the right lines then there are only 2 spp. in Britain - meditabunda and bimaculata (I get the impression this is the rarer of the two). Any hints on how to separate the two?

 Myospila is correct. I have doubts that bimaculata is a true species, not a synonym of meditabunda.
Anyway your fly has ad on t2 so it is meditabunda.

Appreciate it, Tony Irwin! I got the hint to use the key next to Langton and Pinder key for females of Chironomidae. So no specific queries, except the keys... I will keep this on my list and hope th
