these flies from heathland in southern england made me think of syntormon but the antennae are much longer than anything I can find in the gallery. And it seems to be the 2nd segment that's the long bit, not the 3rd segment as I expected they have dark wings and look a bit like Cordilura in the net What genus are they likely to be? thanks, Jeremy jeremyr attached the following image:  [101.02Kb] Edited by jeremyr on 17-06-2014 21:47 |

thanks John, yes I thought appendiculatum and caliginosum had the longest antennae but there it is in the key it seems to be spread right across the country |

First antennal segment longer than width of third segment = Rhaphium longicorne Fall. |
