You won't believe it, but there is such a thing as an easy Siphona: S. flavifrons Theo |

What makes S.flavifrons so easy?  Every tiem I think I have something that works as a "quick and easy rule of thumb" for a Siphona I find that it doesn't work!

It is completely yellow (the male, that is) and the head profile is very elongated, more or less like maculata. Theo |
