Looks like a female of Phasia obesa or aurulans to me but I am not sure which one it could be

And that is what is is. The dusting on thorax of female aurulans is only visible from behind, in other angles it is invisible. So we have been tricked ! The mouthmargin is much too much projecting for barbifrons, moreover, the wing base is strongly yellow, whereas it is slightly infuscated in barbifrons. Theo |
