What can be said about this nycteribiid? It was found in Mogadouro, Portugal. I was thinking in Penicillidia, but I'm not sure.

That's great, thanks Mark! I had already seen the drawing of the genitalia of P. conspicua but I thought that it was not exactly the same, but I guess that it's lack of experience since this is the first nycteribiid that I've tried to identify. Below I put the drawing that I saw of P. conspicua genitalia taken from Lindner.

I used Oskar Theodor - Illustrated Catalogue of Rothschild Collection of Nycteribiidae

The Lindner picture look like a crude copy from Theodor, this seems odd as Lindner was published first! Lindner did loan Theodor specimens for his book.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
