No luck this time. It belongs to Fannia (Fannidae) near the mucids.

Yes - I agree - too many bristles on the legs to be a Lonchaeid - never mind Susan there will be a handbook to the British Lonchaeidae arriving shortly which should help with identification .... Iain

Many thanks - Fannia is just as 'useful', as I have been wanting to get to grips with them too. I'll keep an eye out for the new handbook - will you post something on this website to let us know when it is available? Susan |
