Hello, Iain!

No doubt that this is a Lonchaeid which looks like it has all black tarsomeres and a pale squammal fringe, however there are several very similar species with this combination of characters and the best way to reach a detemination is by examining the genitalia - it looks to me like the thoracic dorsum is a bit too shiny blue black for it to be L. chorea .......


Many thanks for your comment!
