Hi, I found this Ancylorhynchus sp. near Faliraki, between the 19th and 22th of June, 2015. The last three pictures shows a different specimen, but I think they are the same sp. In theory, the sp. could be either A. brussenensis or A. longicornis, because the third sp. known in the region, A. glaucius looks quite different, at least according to the pictures on the Net. Can someone recognize the sp.?
Thanks for any help in advanve!
Regards,
Henrik

Because the yellow stripes on the hind edges of the tergites are broken in the middle this should be A. brussenensis. The wings seem to be hyaline (not mentioned in my key by Engel) CF : )

Of course, I can :) Would you, please, explain to me what made you think that the ID is uncertain?

In the description is mentioned that the wings are "schwach braunlich"....In Engel two subspecies of A. glaucius are mentioned, A. g. brussensis and A. g. longicornis. (both species are now regarded as valid species) Using the key i got to brussensis based ond the colour of the 2nd tergite. But the description (besides the 2nd tergite) fits reaaly good too.....in short, i am not very sure....

I see... Thank you for your detailed reply! In any case, it is unlikely to be anything else than A. brussenensis.
