Hello,
Can you help me to identify this Thecophora ? Using the key of van Veen, I arrive to Thecophora distincta. Are you agree with this determination ? Many Thanks, Sincerely yours, Jean-Michel Garel.

Nobody shows some affinity with Conopidae !

The supposed name is Thecophora (not Techophora), which indeed is a genus of Conopidae.

Hello Jean-Michel Garel,

Yes, this is Thecophora, and it looks like it is indeed T. distincta. Just out of curiosity; 'key of van Even', when was it published and where? I dont know of it...

Kind regards,
Ectemnius

My apologies it is the Key of Mark van Veen. Sorry for the 2 mistakes:the first in the title Thecophora and not Techophora and the second for van Veen. I was very tired. Many thanks Ectemnius.
