This is probably in the genus 'Chaetopsis'.
Species anyone?

I agree that it is a Chaetopsis, but I do see much chance of identifying it to the species.

Could you add it to BugFiles as Chaetopsis sp. please?

There seems to be some uncertainty about the family.

Some place it in the family Ulidiidae, whereas others put it in the sub-family Ulidiinae in the family Otitidae.

We already have a member of the family Ulidiidae in BugFiles, so I suggest you use that as the family,

Ken
