Hi, this one looks a lot like the previous one but scutellum is not as red and it's bigger, 8,8mm long. July 15. 2010 Loviisa, Finland Jari JariF attached the following image: [142.26Kb] Edited by JariF on 19-07-2010 05:06 |

I was going to suggest Sturmia bella but then I noticed that the palps are yellow ... not too sure then

Still, I perfectly understand it, since it looks very 'Sturmiini'. So I expect it to be something like Drino or Nilea. Are the ocellars really missing ? That would suggest Drino Theo |

Very good point ... I had a Drino galii here recently (part of the Caucasus batch) and it surprised me how goninine it looked. It's a bit tricky to see but I can't see any ocellars on these photos so Drino does sound like the favourite

If you had a 'Goniini'like Drino galii, I'd bet it is D. vicina. Galii is pretty Sturmiini. However, Mesnil messed up these two. So check T&H Theo |

Well, I used the term loosely ... but it keyed well to D.galii here and anyway I'll send it to you later in the year when I have finished pulling my hair out with the rest of the Caucasus material There are some very interesting things (which I'll put on the blog soon) but I still have about 80% to look through and I'm down to the "dull black & grey-dusted" ones
