Peleteria sp. ... you can see 2 "Peleteria bristles" clearly on both photos, located between the lower eye margin and the mouth  I don't think it is possible to go further in southern Europe from photos. Edited by ChrisR on 10-01-2009 19:46 |

Excellent photos, by the way. I can't see the palps but it looks very much like P. rubescens: black antennae, very broad parafacialia. Theo |
