When you find a dead one maybe a taxonomist will be glad to see it. The original decription is said to be 'poor'.
They are currently not very common, but when I find a dead one, I'll definitely collect it.
Hi I just came accross your wonderful post and pictures here!
I am currently doing my PhD working on Psychodidae in Bonn, Germany at the ZFMK, in the project GBOL III: Dark Taxa.
My Co-Advisor is Dr. Gunnar M. Kvifte an expert on Psychodidae.
I was wondering if you ever collected one or two specimens??
I am working with traditional taxonomy as well as molecular data to try to solve the phylogenetic relationships in the subfamily Psychodinae, and these specimens could be very interesting for the project.
Perhaps we can discover something really iinteresting. I would be very very greatful if you can maybe send me an email to perhaps discuss this a little at santijaumes @ hotmail . com
Cheers,
Santiago
