 Hi,
I found this fly in an emergence trap within a freshwater lake in the west of ireland. iT's about 1cm long. Im using the AIDGAP key to identify my dipera to family and keep coming up with coelopidae. Can anyone confirm this as I think I'm wrong.
Thanks

 This is a microscope picture of it, I have more views available if that would help.

EDIT Paul Beuk: I happened to have a copy. After resizing and removing spaces from the name it attached just nicely. Wink
