Lypha dubia would be most likely I think

It looks more like Campylochaeta praecox to me.

How do we tell them apart? It was spotted by my two year-old on a forest trail, I tried to collect it but all I had was two lens caps  .

I'd say : Lypha dubia has a more deeply concave deflection of vein M, less paler tibiae, less large 3d antennal segment, and not these linear bristly parfacialiae. Furthermore, I think the ocellar setae are reclinate, as they have to be for C. praecox.

Well spotted Stephane - I'd go with something like C.praecox too, now that you have pointed those out

Thank you Stephane! I think there is a typo in the gallery. Campylochaeta should be Campylocheta here? http://diptera.in...to_id=3645 Edited by cyprinoid on 02-04-2010 21:21 Hyperbolizer |

I'm with Stephane for the reasons mentioned. Moreover, in most praecox (as here) the tibae are distinctly reddish, in Lypha always black. Praecox is even earlier in the year then Lypha Theo |
