Hello,

Cecile B. : France : 11/8/2007 : Crest-Voland : 75013
altitude : 1500 m - taille : 10 mm (estim?)
ref:29775

On our French forum, Halidaya aurea was mentionned, but the color of the antennaes doesn't match.

Is it possible to tell the genus and even the species ?

I'd say it looks like a Solieria sp. to me Smile Here is Halidaya - with a relatively larger head, massive eyes and stronger abdomenal bristles. Wing venation is also slighty different too.

Chris is right.

It is a male of Solieria fenestrata or just possibly inanis.
