No clue with this one, but pretty characteristic with those enormous antennae. ;)

Rondani did not spell it consistently in the paper where he described the new genus. It appears first as "Cryptochetum" and 5 pages later as "Cryptochoetum".

Yes, the name is a mess. :S

The species is C. buccatum. B)

Yes, buccatum because the costal section between R1 and R2+3 is about three times as long as the section between R2+3 and R4+5. On both other European species (C. grandicorne and C. jorgepastori) it is less then twice as long.

Hi Paul!!

But why coastal sections with antennae so very distinctive. :D C. grandicorne and C. jorgepastori have very short third segment in comparison with C. buccatum.
How you experts like to make things difficult!!!! :D (joke, of course. ;))

Thanks for your explanation!! |t

Groetjes!
