Chris,

Extract from the National Barkfly Recording Scheme website (http://www.brc.ac.uk/schemes/barkfly/homepage.htm)  -  "Chilenocaecilius ornatipennis is an exciting addition to the Irish fauna and may be expected in Britain soon. It has previously only been known from Chile and Argentina, and is associated with foliage in a wide variety of vegetation types. Mark Telfer found it in abundance in Glengarriff Woods, County Cork during 2015, and Roy Anderson has taken one from moss in a base-rich flush in an area of upland blanket mire in County Fermanagh in February 2016. The species has presumably been imported on consignments of cultivated plants but is clearly taking well to the local climate. It keys out as a Valenzuela species but the wing markings make it distinctive. It will be included in the Scheme key once its arrival has been formally written-up and as soon as suitable images become available. (March 2016)."
