We can't (I think) eliminate the remote possibility of P.thoracica but it looks like Phania funesta to me

Thanks, I thought that the marginal bristles of tergite 3 and 4 were longer than those of thoracica (in the gallery, the bristles of thoracica seems to be shorter). Chris or Theo, do you think it isn't possible to see the size of bristles on my pictures ? |

As far as I can tell, the main vibrissa is too long for any Phania other than funesta. Not an answer to your question, and yet again... Theo |
