Black haltere and rather convex 1st costal section - I'd favour Lonchaeidae

Thanks Nikita and Tony. The convex 1st costal segment is a handy one to put in the ID kit. |

Not exclusive to lonchaeids, but combined with the dark haltere is a good indication.

Hi Graeme it could possibly be Silba excisa - check out the tip of the abdomen - photos at http://lonchaeidae.myspecies.info/taxonomy/term/1844/media Iain MacGowan |
