Hello, I think it's a Morellia genus: the vein M bent forward towards R4+5, then I see 2+4 dc and the preapical set of setulae on mid femur. Could it be Morellia podagrica ♂? 01.VI.2014 - North Italy - Como - 650m  Thanks for the help! Regards, Marcello PS: if it could be helpful I have a lateral view too Edited by Marcello on 16-02-2015 19:08 http://www.flickr...loconsolo/ |

My first impression is Pyrellia. Males of Morellia podagrica have modified tip of mid femur and base of mid tibia. |

Thank you very much Stephane! Just a thing, Eudasyphora genus have 3+4 dc setae, is it correct? Because I see only 2+4 dc setae. Thanks again. Regards, Marcello http://www.flickr...loconsolo/ |

I have never heard this. Whatever, it has a strong ventral (pv) on t2, which excludes the genus Morellia (and Morellia is never so deep blue).

You learn me something ! I just checked my Eudasyphora out of curiosity, and indeed, there is an additional prst dc just in front the first strong one, though thiner and shorter. It cannot be visible in your picture as it is in the black area.
