Hi all,
I collected an un-banded male Trichocerid two days ago, and am wondering which of the 12 UK species it is.
To me, the styles appear quite long and slightly on the curvy-side (
'sinuous', says the key), the bridge is complete and the spines of the paramere are short.
Body: c5.2mm
Wing: c6mm
Habitat: Hedgerow near fields
Thank you.
Take care,
Jason

Hi Miriam!
Well, there's nothing much to see with these - hence the need for closely examining his genitals. They offer several features which are unique in
series, and retention gives you the benefit of later comparison of material as well as a way of backing-up IDs.
