I was also 'in the not-so-exclusive lutea/bifurcata club' until I read this paper by C. M. Drake:

The distribution and habitat preferences of British Lonchopteridae. Entomol. Monthly Magazine 138(2002):121-132.

With it's help I soon found meijerei and nigrociliata (on riverside shingle in sheltered locations). I've also caught scutellata once in a Malaise trap and once by net, both from fens (the malaise was in a reed bed). L. fallax in common in northern Finland and can there be easily found on wet riverside meadows.
