I am now very confident that Paul is right in his opinion that this is a
Chamaepsila species. Eye shape, apparently two dc pairs exclude
Psila.
I have a species list of
Chamaepsila for Austria that comprises 16 species. It doesn't include
Ch. lutea (is that a valid species?) and I don't have information about the characters of
Ch. andreji, so I am left with 3 species having a yellow thorax and abdomen:
Ch. obscuritarsis, Ch. pallida & Ch. rufa.
I am almost certain I can see two dc pairs (which also excludes
Psila), which leaves me with
Ch. pallida. Also the third antennal segment is darkened, which is ok for
Ch. pallida (according to HENNIG; I don't have new literature).
Is anyone with me? :S
Cheers,
