Paul, I submitted this nice creature to Gallery as Elaphromyia (pallda?) . Could I ask you to place it as Elaphromyia near pallda ? Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University

Thus, I send Ethiopian series to ZIN (it is 7♂ and only 1♀ alas). If you want to describe new species, please, contact with Olga. If you need any help to visit S-Petersburg, do not hesitate to contact with me. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University
