Two keys suggest that this would be Winthemia but it has orange tibiae and no sign of orange bar on tergite 5; also the wing seems slightly more yellow tinged than pictures suggest. Other characters seem OK. Any thoughts? 1/6/11 in woodland, Lincoln UK.

Yes, looks like a Carcelia to me - look how deep the eyes are in relation to the gena

Let us know which Carcelia you think it is - is it a male? Male genitalia are very good features - as is the frons/eye width ratio

Just quickly for the moment.. the basicosta is the same colour as the scutellum (interpretation doubtful- yellow or dark brown?) and there is a ventral bristle on mid-tibia (apical third) which means it isn't either of the commoner species, yes? I'll try to get some pictures on later. Bit busy at the moment... Phil |

If you'd like to send it here Phil I will have a look, if you like? When it says dark-brown really it means that it should be more like the tegula ... a pale basicosta is quite orange/yellow. PS: I have emailed you the latest Carcelia key
