I'm having to pass this on because whichever key I use the answer is the same - Leskia aurea. Caught 15/8/12 Temple Bruer, Lincolnshire UK. However it doesn't look anywhere near as bright as some of the European pictures on the Forum and the antennae look rather large and dark. Over to you.....

Not Leskia  Does is have a plumose arista? If so then try Dinera grisescens and if not then try female Solieria.

Thanks Chris. In that case it appears to be Solieria. You say female? I was hoping these terminalia were male, in which case it would be S. pacifica.

That's ok - you're right - male  The colour in the first photos was a bit confusing

So it is S. pacifica, by far the most common one. Theo |

Thanks Chris and Theo. Incidently I originally went wrong in the key at the couplet separating species with orange patches on side of abdomen, which I followed as I considered the whole abdomen to be orange. I now see that I have posted this species before, picturing a specimen that was less brightly coloured. Regards Phil |
