I couldn't agree more ! Genus totally OK, but wingspot is lacking ? Theo |

Hi Paul, It seems to be a female. Could there be a difference between sexes about the wing spot? Pierre Duhem |

No it is a male, the female is well less contrasted. I'm not a specialist, but trying to key it with Rohdendorf 1971, I end up to Sphenometopa claripennis.

The problem is that according to FE, this species is only mentionned in Cyprus...

There are many species in this genus, many of those little known. The genus is badly in need of a review. Theo |
