Livia junci (formerly L. juncorum) Family: Liviidae One of a very distinctive genus with inflated 1st and 2nd antennal segments and expanded front margin to the head, but no distinct genal cones. The wings are opaque yellow-brown. L. juncorum is distinguished from the rare L. crefeldensis by the dark spots along the posterior margin of the forewing, and the 2nd antennal segment, which is much more expanded.     A locally common species in marshes and wet meadow areas across the UK on Juncus species (rushes). Length ~2.5 mm
