Wow! Sorry to say that I can't put a species name on this spectacular male Mallophora sp. It does not appear to be present in the major revision of this genus (Artigas & Angulo 1980), nor have I seen specimens of it in any collection. Perhaps it is undescribed? A fabulous find Jeff! Cheers, Eric. |

Thanks much Eric. That's very exciting news! Do you know if there is an English version of the key from that revision floating around somewhere? Thanks much Henrik. |
