with this wing venation.. maybe it is possible to say more:

Yes, this is Chaetogena.

IS the topcell closed ?
Did you collect it ?

We suspect there is a new species of Chaetogena out there in Portugal, but we didn't get the male.
This might be it .

I have collected 3 specimens... I was seeking for Baumhaeuria but it didn't appear.

Great and great pic, the topcel is closed.

This really might be the male we have been looking for !!

In 2010 there were no Chetogena found in Nave de Santo Ant�nio. I found them again this year and sent to Theo just to confirm the species and cf. with other specimen collected in 2009. Now I got the confirmation from Theo and Joachim Zigler... and it is really a Chetogena tschorsnigi.
