Hi
I think this is the only photo available for Xysta holosericea that I took today. :)
Specimen was offered to me and it was caught in 21.VI.1987 in Villar de Ciervo.

Do you have wing venation shots? At the moment it just looks like most Phasiinae :D

later.
It is stronger than any other Phasiinae I have seen. Much bigger eyes as well. :)

Very interesting ... would be nice to see it next to a specimen of
Phasia obesa (or similar). Is the wing venation like
Phasia sp. (with petiole)?

No petiole, Chris. ;) The r4+5 cell is open! ;)

OK ... so it is closer to
Ectophasia then - interesting :)
