 This Chironomidae was collected in May in a malaise trap in Brussels, Belgium. It has a wing pattern (difficult to photograph) and rings on the femora. Any ideas?

 Thank you, the hypopygium looks especially a lot like Zavrelimyia.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
