Hello,
Is it really a Lauxaniidae and is it possible to determine the genus?
In the south of France on 19 September 2014 on fennel.
Thank you for your help

light colored humeri? I was thinking Pseudolyciella?

Pseudolyciella has a glossy touch to some parts of the body, no fasciae on the surface of the tergites (only at the posterior margins) and pattern of darkening of the legs is different in Pseudolyciella.

Initially, in my notes, I wrote Pseudolyciella!
But I hesitated with Minettia and I see that my hesitation is shared!

Thank you very much Paul for these clarifications which allow the differentiation with Pseudolyciella
