Hi, In the older litterature I found that width of frons could be used to sepatate females Zenillia libathrix and dolosa. Following Tschorsnig & Herting females of genus Zenilia could be separated by a single character, ratio of flagellum and pedicel. Bellow attached is Zenillia libathrixin my opinion. I hope your confirmation and advice about characters. Thanks in advance. neprisikiski attached the following image:  [99.37Kb] Edited by neprisikiski on 29-11-2009 21:50 Erikas |

Theo was recently hinting me that Zenillia can be reliably identified only from male terminalia... |

That's right. The feature by T&H is only tentative, and if I remember correctly, it is presented in that way. So sorry, go get the male ! Theo |
