Hi Jorge,

Hmm... in that case I would like to reconsider my ID.
I see that T. flavescens has been recorded.
Looking at my specimens, and beyond the black abdomen, the frons is not as long as a typical T. myopina, nor have your specimens the clear black spots in which the setae are placed on the thorax. I mistaken the small black dots on your picture, which are actually the setae themselves, for the black dots on the thorax. Looking at my specimens I see they should be bigger than in your photo.
So sorry I'll have to correct my ID to Tetanops falvescens.
Lo siento

John
