Can anyone tell me what Physocephala this is? Collected in August 2011 in Portugal in the vicinity of Porto.

Thanks in advance.

Not an expert in Physocephala at all but as nobody replies, I will tell you my opinion: looks like P. lacera/pusilla to me. If I am not mistaken, it has the dark border on the wing that extends to the apical part of it. And it has yellow front that suits those two twing species. Size should help to separate them.

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.
