Thanks Tony! Could it be a female of Procladius culiciformis! https://laji.fi/e.../MX.273360 Edited by Pentti Ketola on 28-08-2018 11:47 |

It could be. It's in the right subgenus (Holotanypus), but there are some very similar closely related species. I'm not sure whether the females can be distinguished.
