The attached photos were taken on 22/09/06 in South East England. I thought perhaps a Lydella Sp. Many thanks Gordon Gordon Jar attached the following image:  [118.56Kb] |

Hmm, hard to see enough of it - could be something like Phryxe sp.. We really need good close-ups of: the wing (enough to see hairs); face (to see all bristles and eyes); and scutellum (for those apical scutellars)  |

I agree with Lydella grisescens. It is difficult to see, but: scutellum is completely dark (al least tip red in Phryxe) eyes seem bare and vertex is very broad (even too broad for a Phryxe) Moreover, the arista is thickened on a major part. Theo Zeegers |
