Dear Tony, is this long-faced creature with a 1cm long body one of your Ephydrids. Well now we know it isn't, it is a Ulidiid, all we have to do is work out which one. It comes from a malaise trap beside a stream facing NW and situated 1150 m ASL in the Kerkini Mts, Northern Greece date = 30/4/- 4/5/2008, I have about 8 and something very similar from there last week or from somewhere else? It will probably go to John Smit as he has agreed to do them so we will know in the end.

I have never knowingly seen a Ulidiid, so I hope somebody confirms something.

However,
T. psammophila was described from Varna, which is next to that area. And it is that species.

Dear Valery,
Thanks for the info, if you mean Varna; Bulgaria, it is several hundred kilometres further north than here.

Dear Valery,
Kilometre is the English spelling, and as the language is still called English and not American, the correct spelling. The word comes from the French, the same as Metre and centre, meter, center and kilometer etc are American debasements, or at least, regional spellings, of the words. Meter is of course a word with its own meaning being the mechanism not the distance.
