Hi Ruth

Looks very interesting !
Did you collect it ?

The antenna is bizarre, must be something special (monstrosicornis, verralli, nigrohalterata ?)

A specimen would help (can't see the sternopleural bristles on the pictures)

Yeah, I gave up on this - beyond the fact that it looked like an Actia, not a Peribaea :D

I checked my collection and as often first impression was the best

Entomophaga nigrohalterata or sufferta (extremely similar)
