Hello Marion Yes your photo is definitely a Lonchaeid, and almost certainly in the genus Lonchaea . Unfortunately however most of the species in this family are only distinguishable by loking at rather subtle characters such as the distribution of setae or the structure of the genitalia - so apart from noting that this species has some yellow tarsomeres, long antennae and a relatively hairy scutellum I am afraid I cant definitely say which species it is --- unless you kept the specimen ???? ..

Hello Iain, thank you very much for detailed answering my question. I ´ll store the Lonchaeid in the genus with a cf.. The specimen is not available, because I did not collect. Greetings, Marion |
