Hello,

I have this small Exoristinae from the Greek island of Lesvos which I am trying to identify. Using the following characters in Moschweb, it gave me only Pachystylum as an option. However, the only known member of the genus (P. bremii) has spiny setae on R4+5 up to almost the crossvein R-M, while my specimen has this vein bare in both wings (except for one basal bristle). What do you believe? Is it a yet undescribed species of Pachystylum, a variety of P. bremii or I noted a character falsely and turned out in the wrong genus?

The input in Moschweb:

(1) EYE
-Eye bare or nearly bare: hairs, if present, not longer than diameter of 2 eye facets

(24) VENTRAL PART OF OCCIPUT
-... with a majority of black hairs but with at least a few light-coloured hairs along the postero ventral margin of head
(27) COLOUR OF ANTENNAL PEDICEL

(40) PROSTERNAL SETULAE
-prosternum with at least one pair of setulae on lateral margin
