Hi,
Here is a Lauxaniid from my garden, seen in June, 2008. Could it be a
Minettia, and is species ID possible?
Many thanks, Sundew

Hi,
Minettia longiseta,:) it was very simple to determine it according to Shatalkins key despite I dont know this species. (M. desmometopa has dark margin of scutellum).

LoL, I thought it might not be
desmometopa because I did not see the dark margin but I don't have Shatalkin's key so I could not check. :)

Thanks to both of you! So it is a new species for the gallery. The inhabitants' diversity of our garden is quite impressive, the humans making a tiny minority only...
Best wishes, Sundew
