Hi Theo !
I caught it in a meadow at daytime, with a net, in a steep valley with beechforest on sandy, calcerous soil.
Normally very hot and dry at the top of the valley, and mor damp and dark at the bottom.
I think I caught it in a meadow at the bottom of the valley.

Is the correct spelling Istocheta or Istochaeta ?

Thanks Steve !
I will add photos to the gallery.
There was another record of I. longicornis, 20 km from this site, 3 years ago. Also on dry, sandy meadow, at a golf course, and at daytime.

According to the nomenclatoral police, it is Istocheta.

According to me and all other people who enjoyed Gymnasium, it is Istochaeta.


Thanks for the info !


Theo
