I thought this has intra-alar bristles, in which case it keys to Minettia plumicornis. But the terminalia don't match the drawings of this species. If it hasn't got intra-alars, it keys to Sapromyza quadricincta. Do the terminalia look correct for this species, please? It was caught in broad-leaved woodland, Coed Nant Gain, North Wales, 9 August 2012. More pictures to come. John Bratton John Bratton attached the following image:  [31.59Kb] |

Thanks very much. I'll go back to the key to see where I went wrong. I had to look up what psychrophilous means. The woodland is at low altitude, so not particularly cool, even in this wet summer. Best wishes John Bratton |

Very useful photos, this species is not mentioned in Laurence Clemons' 'Practical Key'. |

I've submitted some photos for the gallery, probably more than will be wanted but I'll let the Powers that Be decide which are most useful. John |

Is your key by any means available, Mark? |
