Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Sciarid in Baltic amber

Hi,

Seems to be some sort of a sciarid from Baltic (i.e. Miocene) amber. I have access to the old literature, including the monograph by Meunier from 1904, but there was a major revision, including lumping several of Meunier's species together, in 1994 by Frank RÖSCHMANN & Werner MOHRIG in Studia Dipterologica, Vol. 1(126-138). Unfortunately, none of the libraries here in Scotland have a copy.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to which species this may be, or does anyone have a PDF of the RÖSCHMANN & MOHRIG paper?

Many thanks,

Peter
