Male - 6.3mm - Berlin - May 2018

I am new to this family and this is my first attempt at keying a Dolicho. I am using Grichanov's keys.
I arrived at D. ungulatus too easily, thus i suspect that i may not have read the keys correctly.

Thank you for your time.

Dolichopus ungulatus. It is large, common, and easy to identify.

Thank You, John. I am always a bit diffident when using keys for the first time. I easily arrived at D. ungulatus, so i figure that i made an error.

I think that i've seen this before but i didn't photograph it. Dolicho are so pretty.

I appreciate your time and expertise, John. Thank you. :)

I will be posting soon about a few that i cannot place in a family, so maybe you can help...
