I think this is just Cetema cereis (white arista).

I found this thread the other day while looking for pictures of Cetema cereris and thought something was wrong.

With the closely approximated crossveins and white arista, I'm thinking Diplotoxa messoria. What do you think Sara?

Hi empeejay

It seems you are right, and I agree with you, "closely approximated crossveins and white arista" + form of genitalia in the male and even ocellar triangle and etc...shows that you are correct!! :)

Thank You for correction ! I must re-check all my cereris specimens from that location when I go back home :)
