Hello everybody,

I have a question regarding Suillia pallida. When I received a copy of P. Withers key of Suillia I noticed his description of S. pallida, see page 95 of Proc. Trans. Br. Ent. Nat. Hist. Soc. 20, 1987.
He says the arista is long plumose. I tried to contact Mr. Withers, but in vain, unfortunately.
The point is that in the key, which I use most often, namely Papp`s key in the Fauna Hungariae, it is given that the arista is hairy, which, I think, is correct. Gorodkov mentions the arista to be pubescent or almost bare. Collin is his key as well. Same story of Czerny (lang pubeszent).
Is Mr. Wither remark concerning the arista just a slip of the pen?

Thanks,
ruud van der weele

Oops, more about S. pallida Smile.
The plumosity is very short (lang pubescent).
In Withers paper the aedeagi are not figured, when Withers wrote aedeagus he thought eadeagal apodeme Smile.
