It certainly has the face of Estheria ... but I can't see the wing venation to go further

That huge gena and 'beard' on the sub-vibrissal ridge reminded me of some nice ones I had from Peru: http://chrisraper...og/?p=2752 Pyrrhodexia:   Acronacantha cf. nubilipennis  Apologies for the terrible photos ... just thought they looked interesting in comparison to the Estheria (determinations courtesy of Monty Wood) Edited by ChrisR on 12-12-2010 21:42 Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |

Thank You once again. After having a new look with the key, it seems to be petiolata. Jari |
