As there is an ad seta on the mid tibia, I wouldn't say it is Delia radicum. A better guess would be female Lasiomma, probably L. picipes because I can see just 1 pd on the mid tibia. Greetings, Niels |

Greetings, Niels Hi Niels, I think the male Delia radicum differs to the female, check the pics I have in the gallery of a mating pair. The female does have a strong ad on the mid tibia by the looks. http://diptera.in...to_id=6780 What I'm having trouble seeing is the 2 pd setae on the front tibia, there looks to be only one unless that is variable?

Janet, are you sure this isn't D. platura? The pre-alar (if I'm looking at the right bristle!) seems shorter than the second notopleural. |

You could be right, D. paltura was around too where I got this.I checked out Nikita's female D. platura, it does match better! I'll change the title, but I think that is it. http://diptera.in...to_id=2847 Edited by blowave on 16-04-2011 13:32 http://cubits.org... |
