Hi

Looking at the Suilla Key at http://www.online-keys.net/infusions/keys/keys_view.php

I am wondering what is meant by short and long arista?

Thank you

It's 'long plumose' (feathery with long rays) and 'short plumose' (feathery with short rays). The other possibilities are 'bare' and 'pubescent' (downy - very short rays).

You should measure the width of "feather" and compare to the diameter of the basal part of arista, or to the height of first flagellomere !

Thank you both,

It seems that the length of the arista is c. the same in both

What do you mean by Ray (Stephen) feather (Andrzej), 1 hair on the arista?

Short plumose seems to have long hairs on the arista?
