SW France yesterday. Body size around 2 mm long. On a rhodo leaf under a birch. The size and the overall colouration led me to Tanytarsini, but I do not know whether this tribe can be found in this area. Could it be a pale Dicrotendipes ?

Many thanks John, cf Fauna Europaea there are only two genera of this tribe (Stempellinina & Tanytarsina) in Europe. Would you confirm ? Edited by Lippo on 29-05-2019 09:09 |
