Given the black basicosta and altitude, this should be Onychogonia, probably flaviceps. Steve |

Hi Thomas Given time of year and altitude, must be a Pseudogonia. Three very similar species. Theo |

Hi Theo, My understanding is that- Onychogonia is more alpine than Pseudogonia and that both are flying in July/August. Onychogonia has the yellow waxy frons of Gonia whereas Pseudogonia has a dark frons. So this would be Onychogonia. Steve |
