LOL, in the previous post (
http://diptera.in...d_id=22840) I ask
Petrorosia? and the answer is
Cononedys, and now I ask
Cononedys? and the answer is
Petrorossia...
in these two photographs, the wing venation is slightly different, specially the shape of discal cell...
only two species of Petrorossia in Spain according to the Iberfauna database:
P. hespera and
P. letho... and description of
P. letho say abdomen partly reddish... so it's probably
P. hespera?
Thanks!

Javig, you must see the location of R-M cross vein near the discal cell. If appears BEFORE the middle -- Petrorossia! Otherwise, Cononedys! ;)
Check it out and confront. ;)
