Hairy Midge -
Guelph, Wellington, Ontario, Canada
May 24, 2007
Size: ~ 4 mm
Either this midge is hairier than most of the ones I've seen, or all of them are this hairy but so finely so that I didn't notice until now...

Maybe Thienemannimyia senata
This matches fairly well, so far as can be seen, Roback's
(

)
description of
Thienemannimyia senata

http://books.google.com/books?id=lYTr8SHK1u0C&pg=PA240
and synonymy on previous page.) Do you ever have a chance to examine that collection? I wouldn't give an ID based on this picture without comparing to a reliably identified specimen or picture.

Thienemannimyia
. It looks like one I shot that I tentatively IDed as
Larsia
but noted the color pattern does not match any of the species.

CNC
Thanks for your help. I have not been to the CNC, unfortunately. Don't know when I may get the chance.

Hair
This may be one of the less commonly seen subfamilies, as it seems to have an extra crossvein in its wing.
(Based on visible wing veins: Tanypodinae and Diamesinae seem likely.)
