Hi,
Lonchaeidae observed 2 days ago at home ( near the town of Sens, Burgondy, france). Lonchaea peregrina seems to be possible ; are you in agreement with my suggestion ? All my thanks for your help.

Hello - yes, this is a female Lonchaea but it is not L[i]onchaea peregrina[/i] which does not have such extensively yellow tarsi. More likely to be L. ultima or L. palposa

Hi,
Thanks for your very quick reply Iain MacGowan and the identification
of ultima or palposa. How, we can discriminate between these two species : genitalia ?
