Hi
This absolutely tiny Hydrellia sp. was caught 12. X 2010.
I swept it over dry seaweed a couple of meters from the sea on the island Amager outside Copenhagen.
When I run it through the old key in Lindner I arrive safely at
Hydrellia griseola, but there are presumeably a number of more recent species this key doesn't cover.
However, everything seems to fit. The palps are by the way yellowish though it doesn't show on the photo. The wings are very long - a feature I noticed right away.
Body length around 2.5 mm.
Am I right in my assumption that this is H. griseola?
Regards,

Looks like Hydrellia griseola to me, but there are really too many species of Hydrellia to be sure completely.:|
