Hello,
Here comes my last ID request before Christmas, and it is a mycetophilid again, but a small one this time. Beside from the incomplete legs it looks quite fine, so I am confidently looking forward to a group name at least.
Season's greetings, Sundew

Maybe somewhere around Neoempheria . I don?t know.


But maybe Paul will turn your sadness in happiness. Smile

Maybe Trichonta or Mycetophila, but I am not enteirely happy with either of them. Still, the enapimeron seems to be baring setae, so the latter has the best chance.

Well, we have a guess at last... Thanks! I would take a closer look to the enapimeron if I knew which part of the body it is. Neither our glossary nor Google give an explanation, and also the great "Insectes" website (http://aramel.fre...5-32.shtml) is not helpful in this case. "En-api-meron" should be a part close to the head (apex) of the animal, or even a part of the head itself. Here my wisdom quits. Who teaches me a new term?

Aha - the "enapimeron" was an anepimeron in disguise. Nice try to fool me! Jorge's coloured thorax labellings are very helpful indeed, many thanks for the reference. My mycetophilid shows differing proportions, but I hope I marked the right part on the picture below. Do you agree?

ANEPIMERON - EPI - above... Wink it helps a lot to remember the local - at least approximately.
It seems right. Wink
