Rhinophoridae - something close to Paykulia maculata perhaps?

I have no taxonomic knowledge or training to identify. But by comparing the design and venation of the wings, I see more like this: http://www.dipter...oto_id=526 Please could hear the opinion of experts.? Thank you very much. Edited by Maherjos on 24-06-2011 09:47 |

I am far, far, far from expert, but I agree it looks like Rhinophoridae. Venation makes me think of Paykullia (Melanophora roralis is not for sure). As far as I know, there is only one species of Paykullia in Spain, that is Paykullia partenopea. The trouble is I have no information about that species. I also lack information about many Stevenia species, to compare. I would say, if it isn't Paykullia partenopea, it should be some Stevenia sp. The other Rhinophorids that can be found in Spain, don't match your specimen. Hope this helps! Best Piluca |

I guess in the end will have to stay in Steveni sp., Which are the only ones that are classified Rhinophoridae BV. So it just yet, I have not gone to BV. Steveni sp. I have two identified there ... What surprised me more is that, at least as I understand it, he told me in another post http://www.dipter...d_id=39260, Because if I'm not mistaken is called into question the existence of Steveni in Spain. Indeed, as my English is the translator of Google, (I regret not knowing about), but I understood, I can answer by private message written in Castilian. Grateful for your interest, a greeting |
