 Hello,

14th August 2005, Italy, near Rome.

I was thinking about a Platystomatidae, maybe Platystoma seminationis ?

 @Theo, is there only one species of Platystoma in Italy?

@Pierre, I'll just wait until ID is certain. I have a few other seminationis pictures waiting, too.

 Hi Pierre,

Quite right, it's definitely not P. seminationis. I'm not sure which of the others it is, but it looks very much like P. lugubre, though I don't have all species to compare it with.

Best wishes,

John

 I think the spots on the posterior edge of the wing are too distinct for Platystoma lugubre. I think Platystoma gemmationis is more likely.
