3.5mm hump to tail, Clitheroe UK, 13 December 2010.

I collected this yesterday at the place I found the larvae identified in http://www.dipter...d_id=34650 as T. verralli. I guess it is likely to be the same species. Is there anything I can check in this female specimen to confirm this?

I'll see if I can dig up some data/pictures, but not tonight. Wink

I don't know if these closer photos will help.

Am I right about its being female?

Clitheroe 27 March 2012.

At last a male from the same place. The larvae turned out to be Th. verrallii, and if I could establish the two adults as the same species we would have a nice record for the Gallery. Does anyone have Wagner?
