The only known species of Rondania from the Canary Islands is R. insularis. I don't know if that is the species in your photos. |

Thanks John, I have what has been confirmed as R. insularis which has all black antenna, grey genal area and face. There is an older Spanish checklist that shows four other species from mainland Spain and the Balearics just trying to ascertain if these are maybe more widespread and if so if this is one of those; not straightforward it seems. ![]() |
