Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Gastrolepta with apical scutellar bristles?

Hi,

I have a question regarding Gastrolepta anthracina. The literature says that it lacks apical scutellar bristles, but I have a few specimens that I identified as G. anthracina and they have very small crossed apicals (see picture below). Are these too small to be considered true apicals?
