very interesting: black tegula, broad third antennal segment and a pair of median marignal bristles on syntergite 1&2: would imply S. hokkaidensis ?? you are not supposed to have this species, I think. I guess it has not been collected ? theo |

I guess it has not been collected ? theo I did not know it could be interesting. Had I known, I would have tried to collect for you. Just take pictures, I have no knowledge of entomology. Just trying to harvest when I think it can be interesting for specialists. Will try capture, if I return to find her. If I have more photos, add some more. Would correct the name Siphona cf. hokkaidensis. I am very grateful for your support. Kind regards from southern Spain. José Marín |

Well, we never will be 100 % sure, but it does look like hokkaidensis. Would be the first for the Iberian peninsula Theo |

It is a female? Kind regards Edited by Maherjos on 18-05-2014 18:06 |

With photos I would always use "cf." because they are difficult enough with specimens but with photos we can never know if we are seeing all of the characters clearly enough
