Hello

I have keyed this female to either Dolichopus arbustorum or cilifemoratus in both the Grichanov and Fonseca key. However I have to decide between the two using the amount of black or white hair on the front coxa. But when viewed from different angles, I more or less think the distribution is 50/50.

Are there any other features seperating the two?

The most common should be cilifemoratus.

To collect a male is the best way. Otherwise consider it near cilifemoratus.

Thanks very much!

I will put it as Dolichopus cf cilifemoratus.
