Here is the one which was laying eggs. Is it also a female of Hybomitra nitidifrons? Belgium, Malchamps (peat bog area), 2010-06-28. Thanks Christine Pic 1 Edited by Christine Devillers on 29-11-2018 22:06 |

This one, I cannot confirm. The frons is (too ?) narrow, the palpus seems too long (but out of focus) and the abdomen seems (too) dark. More likely bimaculata ..... Theo |

Thanks Theo, Does those others pictures helps for the palpus and subcallus ? I thought it was nitidifrons because the upper part of the subcallus seems to be shiny (subcallus was not completely mat), and the lower callus was small. Christine Pic 3 |

Yes, but it is very little indded and might be artificial. The frons just seems too narrow and also too strongly tapering downwards. Compare with your no. 2. I could not make any postive ID, alas. Theo |
