Dear Stephane,

I can't see the ad on t2, so is G.minor based on the lenght of the abdomen...?

Only curious..:)

Roger, your list seems very old.
Cyrtoneura picta Zetterstedt = G.picta, valid name
G.minor

Difficult to see, but there is an ad (see below). And G. maculata has more extended orange markings on abdomen.

Yes Nikita, a bit like me...and worn round the edges :|.

Altered heading to suit you purists....I prefer picta, coming from the Land of the Picts.

Your sense of humour and your ability to resist at a 3.5 m fall proves that you are still among the youngest of us Roger. :)

Yes Stephane...18 years old in a 58 years young body with the sense of humour of a schoolkid...the only way to be...no sense of humour, no point in beng alive.
