Thanks for your suggestion. I think only confusa and villosa are known Denmark. Ought to have caught it. And I'll wait.

Thanks for confirming. I'll search a little to find out if this species is known from Denmark. You're so sure about about the species that I can report it to our national site for insects and fauna?

yes,
but I'm not sure if your pics really show Sc. (L.) brachypterna :-( Palpi are rather totally orange, so it should be Sc. (L.) collini described by me in 2004 ! Unfortunately I have a jpg-scan from this paper. If you want I can send it at once. I add the key to both mentioned species.

Hi Andrzej.

The case are evolving!

I would very much like the scan of your paper concerning collini.

But I'm not completely sure, that I understand your conclusion about my photographs. Collini? Or either collini or brachypterna but not sure which based on the pictures alone.

The eternal question: why didn't I just catch it instead of taking a picture?

I´ll try to make a better picture of the palps later today if this could be helpfull.

Thanks for all your help.

And a picture trying to show the palps more clearly. Unfortunately the quality is not the best.

Hi Martin,
your last pics show that it is Scoliocentra (L.) brachypterna new to Denmark !
I don't prefer pics identification because sometimes details are not quite visible :-)
Andrzej

BTW the scan of collini is ca. 0.9 MB, so if you want it send please the preferred email address ;-)
