3.5mm, Clitheroe UK, 31 May 2011. I keyed this to Hercostomus assimilis in Fonseca. Did I get close? Stephen R attached the following image:  [82.84Kb] Edited by Stephen R on 02-06-2011 10:29 |

Thanks Igor! I just went wrong at the last couplet. To me the face seems dusted brownish white, but it does have black patches below the antennae. (The cerci are dark, but under strong light they are definitely yellow.) |
