Hi all,
I really struggle with this one, sample from foredune marram grass NW France.
The frons is pale but from ocellar triangle on dark brownish.
There are 4 pale F-bristles pointing up/slightly back
There is a row of 3 pairs of pale interfrontals pointing forward
The pale Oc-bristles are divergent
The pale P-bristles are rather small (1/2 of Iv) convergent
The pale Iv-bristles are large and convergent
The pale Ov-bristles are idem as IV but divergent
More pics can be made.
Any tips welcome!
Thanks!

Hi caliprobola,
It's the family Canacidae, subfamily Tethininae. (In Oosterbroek Tethinidae). A family mostly restricted to the coast. It's a species of Tethina. Probably Tethina illota
For identification see:
