The costa on this tiny Dolichopodidiae (approximately 1.5mm) does not look particularly thickened, but if it is not Teuchophorus I cannot work out what it is.
Swept from river sediments. T simplex possibly?

Thanks for confirming Stefan. In UK we only have simplex, so this will probably be T simplex.

Hello conopid, in GB at least 5
Teuchophorus species occur.

Hi Stefan,
Idid not phrase that right, I meant that we only have Teuchophorus simplex without ornamented legs. All our other species have ornamentation, so simplex is the only likely UK species to match this specimen.
I think that's right?
Best wishes
