This one keeps keying out on Spanochaeta dorsalis (from Belgium, 30-06-2002) due to reclinate frontal seta with anterior considerably larger than posterior. Other characteristics match too: 1 pair of scutellars, short frontal triangle, nearly uniserial acrostichals. BUT, has a clear posterodorsal seta in the middle of mid tibia and arista seems more than pubescent. Any ideas on this one ? Thanks, Joris

I believe females can have a pd seta on mid tibia. I think this is S.dorsalis. |

1. I think it is a male. 2. Nevertheless I think it is S.dorsalis: I have only very limited material of this species, but seems that leg's chaetotaxy may distinctly vary. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

OK, thanks. Spanochaeta dorsalis it is, then - I couldn't see what else it could be, but was a bit worried about that pd. I have collected another one which is similar and has the same chaetotaxy. Joris |
