Something like Dinera grisescens perhaps? I'm not sure what other species you have there though ![]() Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |

Well, a lot of genus, but Dinera just three: carinifrons, ferina, and grisescens. |

The top cell is open. The legs are too pale to be Dinera, I would go to the direction of Bithia and friends. |

The head is very peculiar, or am I tricked by the view of angle ? Anyway, Microphthalma europaea ? Theo |

On a second look, maybe they do not belong to Tachininae... Iīve never seen Microphthalma, I passed it in the key because these donīt have the long appendix on the m-vein bend...

I would agree with M. europaea, but I agree the angle of view is tricky with these-. http://www.flickr...775984020/ |

I don't (nice picture, by the way). The appendix is lacking and moreover the colouration of legs is totally different. So the only other option would be Dexia rustica. Theo |

Hi Pictoverd This is clearly the male of Dexia rustica. Whether it is conspecific with the other one, I couldn't tell. Theo |
