 Hi,

Is this Phyto melanocephala? Deflection of m has a short appendix, I don't know if this can happen in this species.

 This is more common in Ph. discrepans. The vertex seems too broad, though.
Pteropleural bristle absent or present ?

 I couldn’t agree more.

Except for this weird stub, it is a pretty typical male Ph. melanocephala. So I guess that is what it is.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
