Suriname, Brokopondo, Brownsberg plateau (about 500m asl). Night of 23-XI-2015. On light installation with HPL. Any thoughts on the ID of this beautiful specimen? Thanks! Auke attached the following image:  [199.56Kb] Edited by Auke on 05-12-2015 15:20 Your invert guide in Suriname. |

Stratiomyidae I could look at literature and make a guess for these, but I bet somebody here will recognize them on sight. |

Thank you for the ID to family level. I'll change the title accordingly and wait for mentioned somebody.

It is a Raphiocerinae, they are all very characteristic, but the latest revisions are such a mess, I can not find a genus for it....

A belated thank you, Maddin! Has it by now become possible to put a genus name on this specimen, or is the taxonomy/nomenclature still too messy?
