lutea is correct.
Lonchoptera used to be difficult but I painstakingly identified every specimen I collected (usually a lot!) But now I can ID most on sight(+magnification).
being diligent like this means i don't miss the odd
nitidifrons ! close to
lutea but i now have 3 specimens having looked carefully through 1000s of
Lonchoptera
that said, I have a suspicion
lutea is more that one species. but would need some work to prove/disprove.
