Today I received Tony's reprint in pdf format. Preliminary: The one true brachypterous specimen I have has the wign as illustrated for the semialata female (but in my recollection it was a male). However, all other specimens have significantly larger wings than was illustrated for the semialata male. So even if I am screwing up the sexes (plz, no comment required ;)) I think that the 'macropterous' specimens might be something very interesting. So,...
Anyone have material of semialata I can study? :D
