Hi! I found this pair of Petrorossia Near Faliraki, on 19.06.2015. Is it possible to say whether they are P. hespera or P. letho? The former is known from Greece according to FE, while the other is known from Turkey, but Turkey is only 17 km away from Rhodes... Thank for any help in advance!

This is Petrorossia hespera to me. As far as I can see the hairs on frons are dark. However, the genus is badly need of revision. P. hespera is most likely a complex of species (unfortunately for us trying to ID through pictures ) |

Thanks a lot again, Piluca! For the time being, I am very glad with P. hespera, and will be calmly waiting for a revision Kind regards, Henrik Edited by piros on 03-12-2015 00:37 |
