Hello! Could this be a female Coenosia humilis? It was big, around 8mm. Near Lincoln UK on 11th April 2011 Janet

They certainly resemble my 2 specimens, but 8mm seems way too big. |

Coenosia have 1+3 dc ; here 2+3. I think it's Macrorchis meditata ! Nikita can tell if I'm wrong or not.

I also thought the size was too big for Coenosia humilis. Thank you Stephane, I'll change the title! That would be a nice one! Nikita has one in the gallery but it doesn't show the thorax. I'm trying to work out which are the 2+3 but I'll take your word for it.

As usually I have nothing to add to Stephane's identification. P.S. Macrorchis meditata is a big species, but of course, not as big as 8mm. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
