I saw many specimens of Craticulina (?) in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. I think they are not C. tabaniformis because the antennae are not black. What do you think? date: 7th and 8th of July 2009     |

Craticulina it is. In my opinion the Craticulina tabaniformis in literature consists of two different species: one with yellow-brown antennae and the other with dark brown antennae with light dusting. Furthermore this might also be C. bequartia because of the length of antennae. The antennae in these pictures are too vague to measure. So, examination of male genitalia would be needed to be more conclusive. Liekele |
