Hello everyone,

I've recently photographed a female Rhamphomyia and i assume that R. marginata is distinct in this genus, so it should be marginata. I just want to ask if anyone knows of similar species in this genus that could be confused with marginata? otherwise, it is marginata.

Best wishes,
John

Thank you, Paul. I don't have keys to this family.
R. marginata females are quite lovely. I'm happy to find this species.

Best wishes,
John
