This one was collected 3.I.2017 in Santa Albertina, SP, Brazil. I think it could be an introduced species of Plagiostenopterina. Any possible ID? alepercol attached the following image:  [107.91Kb] Edited by alepercol on 06-04-2017 15:11 "Não por acaso são os insetos tão apaixonantes" Subjects: Taxonomy, Systematics, Biodiversity.

Why not a dark Senopterina? |

I have used the key by Whittington (2010, MCAD), and I interpreted R4+5 and M as convergent at apex. All Senopterina I have seen from Brazil has a straight M, the body color is mettalic dark blue and they don't have wasp mimicry behavior. In truth, I don't know. Maybe it could be an weird Senopterina. This genus is under revision now (the brazilian species). "Não por acaso são os insetos tão apaixonantes" Subjects: Taxonomy, Systematics, Biodiversity.
