Is anyone familiar with Lispe caesia, please? I've a male that I think is this species, caught on a North Wales beach last September. It has the small black spines on the underside of the front femur, the thickened and densely hairy basal segment of the hind tarsus, and the genitalia are a fair fit to Gregor's fig. 42h (Muscidae of Central Europe). But Fonseca's RES Handbook to Muscidae says the palps should be black, whereas on my specimen they are pale, even after allowing for the white reflective dusting on the tips. Are there any other species I could be confusing it with, please? It is apparently quite uncommon in Britain - Nationally Notable is its official status. John Bratton Menai Bridge Wales |

Paul, Thanks for moving this up the order. Maybe I put people off the scent by inadvertently posting it in the eggs and larvae section. My specimen is an adult male. John |

Actually, I think you placed it in the General requests and I just had a slip of the finger moving it to the eggs etc. section rather tahn the adults. Put in its right spot now.

Thanks very much. Is 5 years 7 months the longest wait for a reply ? |
