10th February this year saltmarsh/shingle. Looking back on previous threads it seems that the hairy eyes are a fairly good pointer for Lasiomma.

Eyes haired + t3 with 3 av near base and 1-3 posterior behind the pd + f3 in middle with long pv + R4+5 and M1 slightly narroward.
Lasiomma seminitidum (Zetterstedt 1845) seems right to me...
Did you check 5th sternite also...?!

Joke:)

I had a look, but it is a bit distorted. Here it is anyway.

:D Difficult to see with a lateral view..
There are 3 Lasiomma with haired eyes (Europe):
L.anthomyinum (eyes longer haired and terminal lobe seem not to match with the one on the photo)
L.strigilatum (has 15 ad + 5-9 pv on tibia 3, seems also not match with your photo ?)
Left...L.seminitidum...
On plate 20 (Ackland) you can see the shape of the 5th sternite ...should be long oval in dorsal view

Succes Joke;)

Thanks Joke. I think it is a very good match for L. seminitidum.
