I found this specimen which looks somewhat like a Curtonotidae to me, but its pronotum is much lower. What could it be? Suriname, Paramaribo, Weg naar Zee. III-2013. In secondary forest. Thanks in advance, Scarabaeoid Auke attached the following image:  [166.16Kb] Edited by Auke on 31-03-2013 18:24 |

Not sure of Curtonotidae? Lauxaniidae or Drosophilidae? |

Well, the whole point of the questionmark was that I don't know. But thanks to your suggestions I checked both the Drosophilidae and the Lauxaniidae, and it actually looks quite a lot like Setulina. The S. cf. Geminata in the gallery has a different wing pattern, but when I use Google it appears the species has actually two different wing patterns, one of which looks remarkably like the one of my specimen. I'll change the name for now, but I hope someone is willing and able to confirm this tentative ID. Best regards, Scarabaeoid Edited by Auke on 31-03-2013 18:25 |

Setulina have hairs on Basal part of the radial vein, one is not going to see these in a photograph. But Setulina geminata is cosmopolitan in the tropical Americas, and looks much like yours. Maybe Steve Giamari would know this species from sight? Mark Edited by Mark-uk on 31-03-2013 22:16 |

Could someone please confirm Setulina, and possibly the species? My photo is now the first picture when searching for the name Setulina geminata in Google, and I suppose it could cause additional misidentifications if it has actually a different ID. Thanks, Auke Your invert guide in Suriname. |
