Hello.

I submit this Chironomidae of 2 mm came to me in Lunel-Viel, Hérault (France), the 13/09/2017.

Jean-Jacques PORTENEUVE : France : Lunel-Viel : 34400 : 13/09/2017
Altitude : 13 m - Taille : 2 mm
Réf. : 191673

Perhaps a female Tanytarsini, as proposed to me here.

Thank you for your help.

Cordially.

Thank you for confirming ! :)

Could we know the genre by seeing other details?

The only literature I have for Tanytarsini requires males slide mounted under high magnification.
