I took yesterday my sons to ride horses at pyrenees, so I could take some photos meanwhile, I collected some of them....

I am totally with you, Libor, with tergestinus.
The other one, I would not dare to call.

OK, bromius indeed.
The small one looks odd. Is the eyeband really lacking ? Please check.

I think I see one eyeband. For sure, please, refresh the specimen. Put it into any small vial with a small amount of water and place it into a freezer. After 24 hours take it under a microscope. Eyebands are well visible after this procedure.

It really should be maculicornis for many reasons, but the alula seems too large, that bothers me.
Could we get a picture of the base of the wing, please ? Strictly perpendicular view (to the wing, that is ).
Thanks
