both of these were found at Glen Moss SWT reserve, Kilmacolm, Invercylde on 29th Apr. I think the second might be Lypha dubia?

Yes, I would say that the second is Lypha dubia and the first is possibly Campylochaeta but would be nice to see a specimen of that

The first one, the antenna is too big for Campylochaeta, esp. female.I'd say it is a Blepharomyia. You have 2 species in Scotland (pagana and piliceps), very similar in the female sex. Theo |

Blepharomyia is ok, I think I can see only two strong medial setae on tergite 2, what is usual for B. pagana.
