 Probably not Stenochironomus. It has the look of the Chironomus group (which includes Dicrotendipes) but I can't tell from this angle.

Most Dicrotendipes have distinctive genitalia, with one of the inner pairs of appendages strongly curved up, as in http://www.dipter...to_id=7177.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
