What is the general consensus about this fella? I can see the long and curving vein 7. Is this feature in the Fannids often meerly a faint vein aided by a wing fold? Oh one more question, are Fannids eyes HOLOPTIC or separated generally? Cheers! R2DD attached the following image:  [141.82Kb] Rob D Corcaigh, Eire.  |

Yes, it is Fannia, male, with narrow frons. The most wide frons in males have Fannia brinae Albuquerque and F. altaica Pont & Vikhrev; the most narrow frons in females F.lustrator Harris and F.fuscila Fall. I can't give you species level from this photo... Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
