Diagnosis. Hyadina fenestrata is an inconspicuous species within the group that is characterised by (i) only inner vertical seta and (ii) scutellum velvet black laterally (as Fig. 7 View Figs 5-13 ). The lack of a black spot at the anepisternum is a good indicator for this species but a careful examination of the characters given in the key above should be used to verify the identification. Terminalia as Figs 16-18 View Figs 14-19 .

Distribution. Within Europe this species has so far only been recorded from the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria, La Palma) (Becker 1908, Cresson 1930) and Madeira (Stuke 2012). Despite these isolated records the species is widely distributed and probably not rare with records from Egypt ( Becker 1903, El-Hawagry et al. 2018), Israel (Mathis & Zatwarnicki 2004a), Jordan (material listed above), Oman (Mathis et al. 2017), Seychelles (Mathis & Zatwarnicki 2003), United Arabian Emirates (Mathis et al. 2017), Taiwan ( Cresson 1930) and the Philippines ( Cresson 1930).

Biology. Adults have been recorded all year round at wetlands.
