This female Leucostomatini was found in the outskirts of Madrid on 07.V.2015. Area with mediterranean vegetation. Any chance to be sure of the genus? The closest I can get is Leucostoma, but for some reason something looks wrong to me... and I don't know what it is  Thanks for whatever input!

Hi Piluca, Looks OK to me as female Leucostoma. The males are much broader generally, maybe that confuses you. As you know very difficult genus ! Theo |

Thanks a lot, Theo!! I am much more familiar with males (genus level, not species, of course!  ) Features took me to Leucostoma but it looked a bit odd to my eyes. Could easily be what you mention about the body shape.Don't worry, I don't expect ID to species What I did need was to be sure of the genus Best Piluca |
