The attached was photographed in South East England on 05/07/06. I think it is a Hybomitra Sp. and would be grateful for confirmation or correction. Thankyou. Regards Gordon Gordon Jar attached the following image:  [91.35Kb] |

Hi Gordon This is certainly a Hybomitra, and it looks like ciureai. Some muehfeldi can look almost identical to ciureai, and usually the best way to distinguish them is using the shape of sternite 8 and the dorsal lamellae. I believe that ciureai is the more likely species to be found in S.E.England, and it's certainly on the wing at the moment - I caught one in West Norfolk yesterday. Tony Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |
