Mediterranean scrub. South central spain. may 2022. 600 m. I think it's Estheria, but the only species with such an elongated prementum lives in Canary Islands (as far as I know), so I'm probably wrong... Nacho Cabellos attached the following image:  [277.27Kb] |

Hi Theo. I don't know what you mean with "any change we can see the proboscis" (my english is not good), but i've more photos of other individuals in which we can see the proboscis clarely Edited by Nacho Cabellos on 11-08-2022 19:27 |

Yes, our posts crossed. It is indeed the well known Estheria with long proboscis from the Canary Isles: simonyi. Theo |

Wow, but the photos are from the center of iberian peninsula. That's the origin of my doubt about the specific determination. |

I am sorry, I thought it was from the Canary Isles.. From Spain, it is Rhamphina cf. pedemontana. Theo |

Oh! It's a new genus to me! I had never seen it. There are two species in iberian península, Do you know if exist some key character, besides the flexibility of proboscis, that separates two species? Thank you a lot!!! |
