Dear NakaRB, what a beauty! I do not know if you were capable of collecting this species? Was it collected after photography? It is an extremely interesting looking specimen! Very curious. All the best, Jonas |

btw, I agree with Paul's Dichetophora, but no obliterata nor finlandica in my eyes. Other scio-fanatics online? :-) |

I see nothing against D. finlandica.

and in Moscow region D. obliterata is absent (at least I had never collected or seen collected specimen).

Thanks for your comments both, D obliterata I know very well, very abundant in Belgium -especially from coastal dunes in autumn. I agree, this is certainly not D obliterata. D finlandica I only know from one specimen I've seen in Spain (formerly not known to Spain :-) ) and from the holotype and 8 paratypes in Brussels. What strikes me in this specimen are the extremly dark wings (compared to type series) and rather pointy antennae (I want to check this against the types, for I cannot remember the types to have that pointy antennae?)... Anyhow, I do not dare to call this finlandica without actuall material in hand ;-) cheers! |
