i?m in doubt, and it seems it?s being attacked by some white small lines, is it dangerous?
i use to capture them in alcohol, but that?s no good for hairy ones like this, so it seems it?s been less "protected", i think i?ll have to pass to acetate...

Well, it looks as if the crossvein between the radial and medial veins is indeed placed well in the basal half of the discal cell. That fits with Systoechus.

I would say r-m is too distal for Systoechus, proboscis looks rather short so i wondered if it might be Bombylisoma? much better views needed
