Thanks, john and Valery, for the ID. I was specially keen to know this one, because I have spotted it together with two parasitic hymenoptera which might be respectively a parasite and a hyperparasite, an Eurytoma sp and a Torymus sp. This will help me trying to understand whether that specific sequence is known ... For a similar one, see http://www.eje.cz...bstract=33 A beautiful hypothesis can be slain by an ugly fact. |
