Is it possible to determine genus or even species from photo? Collected in a damp deciduous forest in Sweden in June. /Magnus magnusp attached the following image:  [192.45Kb] Edited by magnusp on 05-10-2012 13:30 |

Looks like Neoempheria lineola to me or at least close to it. Maybe contact jostein kjærandsen, he is in Sweden I think! Email him a link to this page. There is about 8 species of these gnats in Europe and the larvae can be found on webs they form on fungi and deadwood. I found loads of N. pictipennis in Ireland in coniferous woodland during my research masters.

Thank you Rob! I contacted Jostein and he just confirmed that this is a Neoempheria lineola, female. /Magnus |
