Hi!

Is it possible to get genus for that female?
Size 4mm.


Thanks for help.

Probably Planetella. The shape and hairs of the flagellomeres put it in supertribe Cecidomyiidi and as far as I know only one genus of the supertribe has more than 12 flagellomeres.

Only one species of Planetella has been found in Finland.

Thanks John!

Distributions of Cecidomyiidae are poorly known.
