Melanostoma mellinum(female) is the correct name? Thank you very much. Slovak Republik, Terchová region on the Malá Fatra, approximately 700 m above sea level 26.09.2011.

Hi Mucha Fero

Melanostoma is always hard to identify. This time I would have said M. scalare, but I'm not sure.

I think it is M. mellinum - female because of the shape of spots and the shape of abnomen. Dusting area on frons looks like a flash reflex for me...
