What is this? I can't find the correct family. But I'm sure someone here will... Length: roughly 1,5 mm. 2016-06-06, northern Germany, garden, underside of a Corylus leaf Lennart Bendixen attached the following image:  [292Kb] Edited by Lennart Bendixen on 04-02-2017 09:25 |

Many thanks again. Is there a chance to get to subfamily level? I haven't seen a cecidomyiid with such bare antenna. |

Small number of antennal segments and wing venation suggest something near Miastor?

Ok, so then it would be Porricondylinae. We can rule out Miastor itself, don't we? (because of the long haired wings?) I wasn't amused about the midge's decision to leave before I could take a lateral picture. Too bad. |
