Hello, these Lonchoptera sp. visited the light in our garden (northwest Germany). Some of them were smaller (< 3 mm) and seemed generally a little bit darker than others. Males and females? If so, it can't be L. bifurcta (no males in central Europe). So L. lutea? 1550x1162 picture: http://insektenfo..._4mm_3.jpg Juergen Peters attached the following image:  [38.47Kb] Edited by Juergen Peters on 09-04-2014 23:32 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Lonchoptera lutea I would really love to say it was something different. I suspect that mainland Europe is little different to the UK. lutea is really common, bifurcta is quite common. tristis is not uncommon, mostly in autumn, or a very wet summer. especially in beech leaf litter. nitidifrons is rare, but when I have found it it is often in groups of lutea. initially one thinks they are lutea, but just don’t look 'quite right', then one notices the antenna segments 1 & 2 are yellow!. meijerei & nigrociliata (and some other non UK species) are best found by sweeping exposed river gravels. good luck, would be lovely to see more species photos on hear. As a post script, i would welcome specimens from anywhere, even the common ones. Mark |
