Hello Forum,
is the family correct? Is a closer ID-step possible? Hagen, NRW, Germany. September 28th 2008, alder marshland, 175 msm
Best wishes, Josef

Yes family is correct. Palloptera ustulata would be the most likely candidate, but żou can't rule out P. anderssoni by this picture alone. Since it is a female, it will be difficult to make sure which of the two species it belongs to, even if you have collected the specimen.
