When you find a dead one maybe a taxonomist will be glad to see it. The original decription is said to be 'poor'. They are currently not very common, but when I find a dead one, I'll definitely collect it. |

The species is laying eggs in hollow trees, are such trees available where you found them? |

Based on what I remember there are no such trees in the area, but I need to check again. |

I am currently doing my PhD working on Psychodidae in Bonn, Germany at the ZFMK, in the project GBOL III: Dark Taxa. My Co-Advisor is Dr. Gunnar M. Kvifte an expert on Psychodidae. I was wondering if you ever collected one or two specimens?? I am working with traditional taxonomy as well as molecular data to try to solve the phylogenetic relationships in the subfamily Psychodinae, and these specimens could be very interesting for the project. Perhaps we can discover something really iinteresting. I would be very very greatful if you can maybe send me an email to perhaps discuss this a little at santijaumes @ hotmail . com Cheers, Santiago |

Hello, Sorry for hijacking this thread! But a psychodid joined me on my desk (in south Surrey, England) this morning, and it outwardly appears to resemble Clogmia latipennis. That led me to this thread. I was wondering whether this could be confirmed from this photo, and also whether anyone would be able to say how many previous British records there have been? It doesn't appear on the latest version of the British Diptera checklist (28 July 2021). I still have the specimen in case any further examination is required. Thanks in advance, James JamesM attached the following image:  [254.53Kb] |

There are two British records on Inaturalist, from the south of England. That's all. To me this one is OK. Maybe you can measure wing length approximately? It should be well over 3 mm. The description of the species is not very good, so it needs redescription! Maybe your specimen is suitable. Ask Gunnar Kvifte if he likes to receive it. |

And I'ld like to know the location to add it on a map with all known finds. |

That's brilliant, thank you very much! Interestingly, when it was on my desk it was running around next to my ruler (coincidentally), so I was able to get the ruler in some of the photos too and it doesn't appear to be much over 3mm. But when I have a chance, I'll measure the wing length of the specimen more accurately, and I'll also get in touch with Gunnar. Thanks again! |
