 Hello,

I have asked for this species once before, on August 06. 2006, but up to now got no confirmation. Now I have two more specimen, which I assume to be Icterica westermanni as well. Can anyone confirm this? Details of habitat: D-53572 Unkel, 20 km south of Bonn, river Rhine valley, dry and warm grassland with some wood and vineyards, August 21. 2006. Both specimen sat under the buds of, I am quite sure, Senecio jacobaea.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

 Hi Michael,

I tend to agree, but this is of restricted value ...

 I must have missed the from august 6th, but this certainly is Icterica westermanni, though it's nowadays in the genus Merzomya.

Pipunculidae from Mongolia! I am looking for specialist who is committed to ID these. There will be a lot of material coming from my expeditions.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
