Because the bristles on the wing (base of R4+5) vein should lead to the ID as P. litura Edited by Carnifex on 06-10-2021 20:29 Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

P. intermedia has only been described in 1979 by Remm, but I cannot find a publication Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

Good book, maybe useful to you (geographic proximity). It is in Slovak language but with instructive pictures. Edited by Jan Maca on 06-10-2021 17:16
