LOL, in the previous post (http://diptera.in...d_id=22840) I ask Petrorosia? and the answer is Cononedys, and now I ask Cononedys? and the answer is Petrorossia...

in these two photographs, the wing venation is slightly different, specially the shape of discal cell...

only two species of Petrorossia in Spain according to the Iberfauna database: P. hespera and P. letho... and description of P. letho say abdomen partly reddish... so it's probably P. hespera?

Thanks!

Javig, you must see the location of R-M cross vein near the discal cell. If appears BEFORE the middle -- Petrorossia! Otherwise, Cononedys! Wink
Check it out and confront. Wink
