The costa on this tiny Dolichopodidiae (approximately 1.5mm) does not look particularly thickened, but if it is not Teuchophorus I cannot work out what it is. Swept from river sediments. T simplex possibly? conopid attached the following image:  [134.02Kb] Edited by conopid on 31-07-2011 10:56 Nigel Jones, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom |

Thanks for confirming Stefan. In UK we only have simplex, so this will probably be T simplex.

Hello conopid, in GB at least 5 Teuchophorus species occur. |

Hi Stefan, Idid not phrase that right, I meant that we only have Teuchophorus simplex without ornamented legs. All our other species have ornamentation, so simplex is the only likely UK species to match this specimen. I think that's right? Best wishes Nigel Nigel Jones, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom |
