Another Pherbellia - looks a bit like brunnipes, but Nikita may have other suggestions

Tony, I don't think it is Ph.brunnipes - it has long mid-frontal stripe, almost till anterior margin of frons. Also brunnipes has contrasting dark forelegs. My impression is Pherbellia argyra - whittish foremargin of frons, short mid-stripe. Also it iseems to me that image N2 shows rather long plumose arista. I'm not 100% sure, still...

Perbellia, but not argyra, which has a really silvery frons as the name implies.

I agreed and agree that it may be impossible to put species level name on this Pherbellia. But I disagree with silvery frons as reliable character for Ph.argyra. I just reexamined my good amount of collected Ph.argyra (this species is easily IDed by combination of plumose arista and bare hind margin of mesopleuron). Whittish (silverish) pruinose pattern on frons may be very weekly developed and being visible only from several angle of view. But fore 1/3 of frons is always light-yellowish in contrast with brownish hind part of frons. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
