Hi Susan,

I see there's still no answer.
It sure looks like M. hirtella, that is if the third antennal segment is indeed entirely black and not orange, which is difficult to see in these pictures. Nevertheless, if they are black you will still need to dissect the genitalia to be entirely sure it's not M. aerosa.
