Hello! I just guess: I can't see a MCu cross vein on the wings, then fore leg: tarsus is longer than tibia = Chironominae (and also because both fore legs are above and in front of the head) Are there any hairs on the wings? If yes it probably belongs to the tribus Tanytarsini if not Chironomini. (I don't have a key here with me, sorry) Really nice photos! |
