Must be lutea, then. This is a 100 % detail. Thanks again Manuel Lopez attached the following image:  [54.84Kb] Edited by Manuel Lopez on 05-03-2012 18:24 |

fairly confident this is lutea. bifurcata is fairly common too, but doesn't seem to be photographed very much. Look for tristris in the autumn too, not uncommon on damp leaf litter (especially beech), but not seen this species photographed yet. slightly larger than typical Lonchoptera, and an even brown all over. good luck Mark |

I'll do it, Mark What sex is it, if you know from the pictures? And why, in that case, please. Edited by Manuel Lopez on 06-03-2012 05:42 |

The one in you photo is female. Lonchoptera, interestingly, have sexually dimorphic wing venation. the anal vein of the female ends in vein M4, in the male it ends in the wing margin. In most species the males have fairly obvious genitalia Edited by Mark-uk on 06-03-2012 10:31 |
