Hi Jan Thanks for that, I was wondering about Sylvicola fenestralis as I have just been reading that this and S. punctata are the two common species in England, although S.cinctus has also been recorded. Is there a visable distinguishing feature between these two or does it require a specimen and a microscope ? Regards Chas |

Hi Chas, With suggesting the name Sylvicola cinctus I may have been jumping to conclusions. Have a look at the following: http://www.dipter...page_id=18 http://www.dipter...#post_6328 This will give you some answers. Jan Willem Edited by Jan Willem on 22-05-2006 11:12 |

Gut feeling says fenestratus... but I have not checked with the key. Sorry, no time as I am almost leaving.

Hi Jan, Thank you for the key, it is a little technical for me as there are terms that I do not understand so it will have to wait until tonight when I get home and can spend some time checking the terms as well as the pictures against the key. Many thanks for every ones assistance Regards Chas |
