This is a Telostylus Bigot, aff. with T. philippinensis Cresson. The Cresson's species is fully yellow (not fulvous), with ocelar macula restricted to ocelar callus, without macula in fronto-orbital plate and mid area of the scutum; and other little differences too... If you have the opportunity, collect some of them. Regards "Não por acaso são os insetos tão apaixonantes" Subjects: Taxonomy, Systematics, Biodiversity. Area: Neotropical Region, Caatinga. Families: Ctenostylidae, Cypselosomatidae, Helosciomyzidae, Micropezidae, Muscidae, Neriidae, Pseudopomyzidae, Syringogastridae, Somatiidae. |

Thanks for the detailed reply alepercol. Unfortunately I was in and out of the area too quick to collect, next time... Paul Portfolio - https://rainfores...ugmug.com/ http://www.flickr...37609@N08/ blog photo companion http://pbertner.w... |

No problems, man! Next time you catch some of them! Would be interesting to a future molecular analysis. Could I use this photo as a model to a drawing, keeping the copyrights to you? If ok, contact-me privately as pass me your name. Thanks in advance. "Não por acaso são os insetos tão apaixonantes" Subjects: Taxonomy, Systematics, Biodiversity. Area: Neotropical Region, Caatinga.
