Looks like it. Dunno if Rivellia also occurs in the Neotropics...

Thank you. Rivelia are present in the neotropics (I saw R. in Costa Rica). |

Somewhat of a long shot, but it seems that both cross veins are very close together, which would make it Hemixantha |

Thank you John, my opinion is the same: Hemixantha Enderlein (Richardiidae); 10-15 species, some undescribed, in CR and Ca. Concerning Platystomatidae: there are 3 genera of them in Costa Rica, to my knowledge, all with the Old World connections. Edited by Nosferatumyia on 22-08-2009 12:49 Val |
