I need to establish if the second basal cell of this Melangyna is free of microtrichia or not, and it's not something I've looked at before. It seems to me that there are indeed small hairs uniform across the wing, which I must assume are microtrichia. Is this correct?

Yes, the tiny hairs are microtrichia ... in some species you have to watch for bare areas on the wing :)
