can this adult male Chironomidae/Ortrocladiinae
be confirmed as Metriocnemus fucipes

in the handbook-key for British species i end at couplet 7 (Fucipes) due to the hairy wings, the hind leg ratio about only 0,35, and the black legs/body.



but there are 3 remaining danish species, that are not included in the british key, and that i havent seen pictures of, or read about ?
carmencitabertarum
cavicola
terrester
