8mm, Arncliffe Yorkshire UK, 3 June 2011. Collected on Myrrus odoratus. This keys to T. longipes and seems to fit the description. Does it look right? The narrow midstripe on the abdomen is a dusting effect, black from behind and white from the front. Stephen R attached the following image:  [110.04Kb] Edited by Stephen R on 04-06-2011 22:07 |

That's great, Nikita! Yes, it fits into T. longipes on all the (male) criteria you recommend. Many thanks for the link. |
