I have found this that I was convinced was Melanostoma scalare but I have been said that it is Melanostoma mellinum. Can anybody help me to clarify its identity? And what are the real ID tips for both species? Thanks in advance!

OMG, André! That was quick! I didn't even had time to submit all the attachments and you already IDed it!!  Thanks a lot, my friend! What is the ID tip then? I always believed that the greenish colour of the little wings was diagnostic but I am not so sure now. |
