Is it possible to get an accurate ID for this very dark Corsican Rhagionidae? Rhagio sp. I think, closest to Rhagio lineola monticola from gallery images but I don't have a key / don't know what species are possible for Corsica. 4.6.2010 c 10mm perched on alder leaves by a mountain stream, Corsica c 500m nick upton attached the following image:  [126.9Kb] Edited by nick upton on 07-06-2010 07:40 Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

OK - many thanks Walter. This is a new family to me -but I see they used to be considered as Rhagionids, so I got quite close at least!. Can anyone identify it further? Ibisia is the only genus shown in the gallery.
