Well, as it was, Keith Harris was not really happy about Mayetiola (he had "never seen one quite like this" ) and suggested I consult with another specialist. Whenever I will travel his way I will bring the specimen.

Checking Mayetiola images on the web I can understand Keith's hesitation. The pictured pupae do not have such lobes posteriorly. So, if someone has another suggestion: SHOOT!
