I have been told that this looks like a rhagionidae. Is it possible to take it further towards species from the pictures? Was in a mothtrap in mixed habitat. Jostein jostein attached the following image:  [34.04Kb] Edited by jostein on 31-07-2012 18:32 |

Might be Rhagio lineola, if the thorax is not striped but uniformly grey. If only the pics were better! |

There is no stripes on the thorax. It is clearer on the original pics, but they blur up some when I try to get the files small enough to post. Thank you very much  Edit: I can't find any pictures of R. lineola that shows the little dark "drop" on the front of the wing. Is that significant? Edited by jostein on 31-07-2012 16:41 |

You certainly refer to the brownish globose spots, not to the elongated black pterostigma. Well, these are the halters that show through the wings. The wing itself is clear here.
