Can anyone give this male Dolichopus sp a species name?

6.5mm, from 2 June 2008, lowland central France (<100masl), edge of damp woodland.

Ah yes – easy when you know what to look for. Those dense curly hairs at the base of the squama sure are obvious. Many thanks Igor. :)

It is not in the gallery, so I will submit at some stage.

Close up of the diagnostic hairs.

Genitalia, just for good measure.
