Orange fly with light markings on wing - Suillia barberi
Presidio, Dragonfly Creek, San Francisco County, California, USA
June 30, 2019
Size: ca 6 mm
Caught in Malaise trap 27 June - 4 July. Unfortunately, I had trouble deciding even between calyptrate and acalyptrate with this one, the greater ampulla seemed equivocal and the pedicel of the antennae looks like it was concealed under the lunule. The bases of the wings were somewhat torn, so this one might be frass? Strong vibrissae present, Sc seemed complete and separate from R1, costal break seemed to be present.
