A detail of the head. Seems to have a very short proboscis.

Thanks for your input, Jorge!! :) What I know for sure is that it shouldn't be macroglossum, which shoud have a very long proboscis. I remember seeing a discussion about fuminervis here somewhere, with a much shorter proboscis. But It think this one is notoriously even shorter. I don't have any information about pictipennis. It might be this one.

Oops!! David, I was hoping you would appear ;)

What do you need to see? I have loads of pictures with good detail. I just don't know what to show :o :o
