Hi I think this is the only photo available for Xysta holosericea that I took today.  Specimen was offered to me and it was caught in 21.VI.1987 in Villar de Ciervo. jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [194.22Kb] |

Do you have wing venation shots? At the moment it just looks like most Phasiinae

later. It is stronger than any other Phasiinae I have seen. Much bigger eyes as well. |

Very interesting ... would be nice to see it next to a specimen of Phasia obesa (or similar). Is the wing venation like Phasia sp. (with petiole)?

No petiole, Chris.  The r4+5 cell is open! |
