Looks interesting. First impression is that of some Stomina. For that, the arista should be at least slightly plumose. Maybe you can check the original. Theo |

Thanks Theo, Unfortunatelly I did not get very close to the arista. I send a blow up so that you can see it. It seems that the top of the arista could be very slightly plumose. See for your self. Cheers, Guillermo Guillermo Booth Rea attached the following image:  [47.38Kb] |

I think you mean the base of the arista, the hairs are 'clearly' present. Hypothesis confirmed. Theo |

Thanks Theo, I did not want to be to optimistic. I have not found much about Stomina in the WEB. ¿Is it not possible to ID to species level? |

No. Difficult genus, really need the specimen to say more. Theo |
