Very nice again - just not possible to identify it to any level - it isn't similar to any that I have had here ... maybe a leskiine or dexiine? Just guessing really :)

PS: if you caught either of these then the specimens might be identifiable with Monty Wood's key in MCAD volume 2 ... I'd be happy to run them for you but keying isn't possible via photos ;)

Very interesting species, might be a Leskiini, but that is really guesswork

There are quite a lot of leskiines that look similar to this in the neotropics ... but I don't think I have ever seen one exactly like this. Definitely needs collecting ;)

Thanks for your help Chris, Theo. No specimen, unfortunately. I can barely keep up with the camera equipment :D
