I must admit, I wouldn't have thought this was Oscinella maura. It looks more like Diplotoxa messoria to me. |

They should be distinguishable by distance between crossveins r-m and m-cu, very close in Diplotaxa and separated by more than the length of either in Oscinella. I can't tell from this angle. |

dear empeejay! I agree with you and I don't know how this mistake could have been done. I remove my last comment and correct it here: Diplotoxa messoria (Fallén, 1820), Chloropidae. Host plants are different Eleocharis spp. (Cyperaceae), the larvae develop in the stems. Partly very abundant along ponds and swamps; also in North America. |
