I wasn't expecting that as I've been specifically looking out for Catharosia as it's recorded in a survey pdf from 2004:

I've been basically looking for a funesta with dark wing edges. Now you mention pigment the wing does seem to have a slightly dusky front half with some slight dark smudge-streaks either side of R1, but nothing like the pictures I've been looking at from the survey (p. 36), which even seems to show a pale hind femur? The calypters are very dark indeed

I'm trying to get a list of the few tachs without a subscutellum. Catharosia then is one?

cheers,
