This female came to light at night. Is it possible to say something about genus and perhaps species? Photo from 27-28 july 2013 Kramfors 62 N, E 17 Ångermanland, Sweden. Thanks for your help in advance Regards Kurt Holmqvist kurt attached the following image:  [100.58Kb] |

Stictochironomus Fork in Cu is closer to wing base than R-M crossvein. That is unusual in Chironomini. |

It could be S. pictulus based on the presence of faint wing spots in addition to the prominent spot over r-m. Confirmation requires examination of male genitalia. In Scandinavia there is another species S. crassiforceps I do not know anything about. |

I nominate this for the gallery as Stictochironomus cf. pictulus (female) |
