8 March 2011, Boquete, Chiriqui Province, Panama. Mountain forest. Measured 4.75 mm to apex of abdomen and 6.2 mm to wing apex. Condylostylus, or is this another Sciapodinae? Thanks for your help! Stephen attached the following image:  [97.64Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

This may be Amblypsilopus: Long, yellow legs with no bristles; wing unmarked, R5 bent strongly towards M, row of hairs on front edge of wing; no obvious mounds under vertical setae; only two strong hairs on scutellum. Typically antennae of Amblypsilopus have yellow and Condylostylus do not; there are exceptions. Among these the main diagnostic, as opposed to suggestive, character is vertical setae arising from setose mound in Condylostylus, not in any other genus. I don't know if there is any key to species in Central America. Compare http://bugguide.n...98/bgimage |

Dear Stephen, John is right, this looks like an Amblypsilopus species. Please, ask Dan Bickel at the Sydney Museum if he has the key to Neotropical species ready yet. Cheers, Marc |
