Family Ceratopogonidae, tribe Ceratopogonini. Reminds me of Stilobezzia (Acanthohelea) but the American speies are more spiny. (The acantho- prefix means with thorns.) https://bugguide....iew/571364 |

Well, well, ... the specimen told another story. The last antennal segment bears a small apical nipple, placing it in Forcipomyiinae. Wing characters and the seta on the paratergite lead to Atrichopogon. The enormous genitalia lead to subgemnus Psammopogon and that means a species new to the Netherlands. Just downloaded the key but have no time today to finish the ID. Maybe tomorrow...?

Thanks Paul!!! Two new species in my garden for the Dutch fauna in one day. I'm curious what for Psammopogon it will be. Gr Dick |

Atrichopogon (Psammopogon) actually. There appear to be two likely candidates considering the distribution of the subgenus but time will tell.

Atrichopogon looks good. I had not seen any Atrichopogon with large genitalia. In America we have a species of Stilobezzia with elongated genitalia. |

Atrichopogon (Psammopogon) flavolineatus, based on the genitalia. As mentioned above, another species new to the Netherlands.

Actually, it is also known from Germany (German checklist), Turkey, Greece, Hungary and Romania (World catalogue). No info on biology (yet). Edited by Paul Beuk on 30-03-2019 11:11 Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |
