Hello, I've photographed this in Pavia (Italy) - 23/04/2008. I think that it is a Tetanocera sp.. Can I determine species watching second and third femurs (bristles)?

Thanks

Roberto

Just an addition to Nikita's message. Second species with darkend anterior margin of wing is T.phyllophora. These two species are distinguished by occipital spot, though to me difference is vague;)
