Nice try - Ectophasia sp. Wink Well, I say that based on the fact that vein-M is not petiolate and the wing pattern is diffuse but I don't recognise this species.

I only have crassipennis and oblonga in the Central European key and crassipennis is the most likely ... but I am not sure if you have more species down there Smile

This is definitly not Ectophasia oblonga. A third species of Ectophasia exists: Ectophasia leucoptera. And this is it, most likely, because of the colour of the wings.

Without a doubt a male of leucoptera.
(black vitta on abdomen strongly broadened, milky colour of wings...)
Jorge, how do you get 2:1 maginification ?
100mm macro and intermediate rings ?
Nice work.

no. I use kenko extension tubes and Sigma 105 mm EX. I can get 4:1 with 50 mm inverted lens but it turns very hard to take photos. Very small depth of field and we almost see nothing. awkward So we must illuminate the object. Smile
