Don't be misled by the name. IF this is the only pic, this might very well be crassipennis Theo |

Yes, that's why I said: don't be misled by the name. Clearly wings mean nothing. I need to see either the black pattern on tergites or the colouration of the sternopleural bristles. Both are invisible in your picture, unfortunately. The three Ectophasia's (crassipennis, oblongo, leucoptera) are very very similar. Keep that in mind. Theo |

oblongo? Ectophasia oblonga. I think it was a misspelling. Ok, Theo. I will try not forget about these similaries among those 3 species. I will upload more photos, specially the tergites.. (i think i have photos for those. ) |

The tergites are not totally visible... we can see just lateral tergites in this photo. but i hope that this can helps.
