Indeed Egle, probable one of the larger one's. Egle ciliata, Egle brevicornis, Egle brevicornis ...and difficult to say from photos wich one it could be. So I give you a short key from Verner Michelsen: 3 Notopleuron around posterior seta with more than 3 accessory setulae. Hind tibia with apical pd-seta ..................... 4 4 Head about as long as high; parafacial widened downwards; haustellum and palp as long as largest diameter of eye(Fig. 28). Apical extension of cerci emarginate at tip (Fig. 59) ......................................... 4. E. ciliata- Head distinctly higher than long; parafacial widened upwards or parallel-sided; haustellum and palp shorter than largest diameter of eye (Figs. 29, 30). Apical extension of cerci pointed at tip (Figs. 65,71)..................... 5 5 Fronto-parafacial angle modest, lying well behind lower facial margin; parafacial parallel-sided, moderately broad;genal setae less abundant, standing in a narrow cluster (Fig. 29). Altogether less “hairy” species: proepisternals 1–2,proepimerals less than 10............................................................................5. E. brevicornis- Fronto-parafacial angle very prominent, reaching level of lower facial margin; parafacial strongly widened on upper part; genal setae very abundant, standing in a wide cluster (Fig. 30). Altogether more “hairy”: proepisternals 3–5, proepimerals more than15................................................. 6. E. anderssoni Reference: Michelsen V 2009.

Haustellum and palp very long and lower facial margin strong projecting....most change indeed it will be E. ciliata(Walker), the most common one. Next time you will pull out the genitals ? (I keep trying to confince you to prepare the genitals  )Johanna Edited by javanerkelens on 05-05-2013 21:35 |
