Dear Stephen and Stefan, it's certainly diaphorine, but might as well be a Chrysotus (there are a lot of larger, bluish coloured species down there). I don't have a good view on the shape of the face nor the insertion of the arista, which might provide useful characters. Cheers, Marc |

Dear Marc, The antennae inserted at the middle of the head, the relatively broad wings and the distance between veins R4+5 and M are typical characters of Diaphorus females. Best wishes, Stefan Edited by Stefan Naglis on 23-06-2011 13:15 |
