We've 6 Loxocerini in Europe, 3 of which can be ruled out easily, then rule out L. aristata which has a black occiput with just a tiny white genal patch just below the eye. Leaving the problem of differentiating between Imantimyia albiseta (yellow/amber face + arista with distinct hairs) and I. fulviventris (black face and hairs on arista less distinctive) Try Paul Beuk's key (https://www.onlin...?key_no=34) or Phil Withers key (https://www.resea...and_specie) but resolving these two is a perennial problem and full-frontal face shots are rarely taken. |

Hi Darwyn Sumner, thank you very much for your nice ID work! I tried Paul Beuk's key and my result is still I. albiseta. OK? Greetings Kuv |
