Banded tibia?
Mike, are the tibia banded? Does that mean that this could be a Micromus posticus, because I'm not sure? Most of the images of that species appear to have them. Also, the width vs. length ratio of the wings seems to be a bit larger in that species, correct?
I'm sorry that I cannot instruct you and I'm just asking for clarification, as I haven't gone through the key yet. Also, there is nothing about these characters on the info tabs. Thanks for helping!
