Looks like Dinera grisescens to me

That is what I first thought but it does not match as r5 is not closed at the wingedge nor does it show a sort petiole see photo detail of the wing. Jan Wind attached the following image:  [29.07Kb] |

I think, it is Dexia rustica, because in Dexiosoma hind margins of tergites are undusted.

Dexia is hardly possible in the Netherlands and the arguments to reject Dinera grisescens are not decisive: topcell is very variable in this species. Need to look into this further Theo |

I can see rather long shadow fold on the angle of medial vein; yellow scutellum at tip; syntergite 1+2 hollowed much further than in grisescens.... Erikas |

Erikas, your points are well noted and valid, certainly the last, I did not have time to check the pictures thoroughly and I guessed that they might be misleading, however, they are not. To call Dexia rustica from NL I need to be very sure. I'll check the collection (but currently I think you might be right !) Theo |

Thank you Chris, Erikas and Theo for the insights. I have also a series form the same day in the same area of what I think is a male Dexia rustica which I will enter as a new thread. kind regards, Jan Wind |

Erikas has totally convinced me. In the last century, we have had 4 records of Dexia rustica in NL. That explains my caution. Last record 1973. Good news that all known localities are from the Veluwe, where this one was found as well. Of course, the male in the other post settles all discussions. And yes, Dexia rustica is much more common in the south and in the east, so I'm not surprised it is common in Lithuania. Theo |
