Hello! I’m in trouble with this specimen. All of the features (no black bristles behind the post oculars, apicals upright, coloration, pruinosity) all totally point towards Meigenia, but propleuron is bare. I have 3 specimens, and in all of them, propleuron is completely bare, without any hairs. How is this possible? Is there any Meigenia without propleural hairs? Or isn’t this even a Meigenia? Caught in Hungary, a few weeks ago.
