Kahis, are the setae on the mesonotum not too short for Pipunculus? I thought they might be Tomosvaryella...

David Gibbs wrote: certainly Pipunculus, very likely Pipunculus campestris Latreille, 1802 Perhaps, but Pipunculus is still unrevised and nobody has apparently seen the types of P. campestris; all descriptions of this species are based on wishful thinking, not type material. The types have apparently been found in Paris and I know that Dr. Kehlmaier is now working with this rather problematic genus. Kahis |
