 It seems to be a male of Phaonia angelicae.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
