Hello,
this Lauxaniidae of 4 mm was observed at home (near the town of Sens ; Yonne department, France) on April 21. Is it a Minettia ? Thanks for your expertise.

Hi Paul,
Mikes key says (Lauxaniidae, item 8): " Note that in Homoneura interstincta the costal spines terminate before the end of R4+5." It does not looks like here.

You are right. This is the species which was misinterpreted as
interstincta by 'authors' and that was renamed as
mediospinosa by Merz.
