It looked like a Chloropidae. After seeing it on screen it looks Psilidae for the ocelar triangle (?). Can you help me to identify it?. Taken in the Charcha de Suarez wetland. More views and resolution available. Thanks in advance Best regards Manuel Lopez attached the following image:  [140.66Kb] Edited by Manuel Lopez on 17-01-2013 19:35 Manuel |

According to your photographs, I think it may be Metopostigma sp. As the keys of Lasiosina and Metopostigma are so close together, one of the differences between them is their orbital setae, which in Lasiosina all of them (3 or 4) enlarged, but in Metopostigma just posterior orbital setae is enlarged. So as far as I can see in the photos, I think it is the genus already mentioned..Metopostigma ! But just as a note; I would ask you please when you do a post, would you please send ALL your photos from different angles at the same time, and also preferably your photos from one sample at a time and not different times and different samples! ( Seems this genus is not in your area. For sure you should collect the sample and send it to some experts from your area to confirm) Sincerely yours Sara |

Sorry Sara. The third photo was taken one week later (mentioned in the post). Initially I thought the first image could be enough. Since it was not clear as Lasiosina I decided to upload the second. After photographing it again the following week I decided to upload the third. Also I mentioned in the initial post that more pictures were available if needed. My default is ignorance of the keys. Thank you for your kindness. Best wishes

This is the best available perspective of the orbital setae at the moment. I'll try to get another better picture.
