Hi Iain, there is a complete suture on scutum, the subcosta is well separated from R1 and the tarsi seems too long for any Lonchaeidae. This is really the habitus of Hydrotaea ignava group, with a long frontal triangle, and, lightening the picture, the classical Muscidae chaetotaxy is guessable. Maybe Jordi can submit another picture which can remove suspicions... Stephane. |
