Second photo of Manuel's Terellia. Hi Nosferatumyia, due to computer issues Manuel was not able to upload the photos himself. ¡Saludos!

It is suspiciously cyan, like T. longicauda, but has wings w/o brownish shade, like in T. serratulae. The key characters, are. however, the length of female ovipositor and or a few microscopic setulae on female genitalia. Or at least the host plant. Otherwise -- no way to tell. And yep, the banded eye pattern is marvellous and mellow, and is present only in these two terellia species... Val |
