Hi Andrey,

I think you are right. At first I thought cross vein ta was also clouded, but giving it a better look I think only the vein itself is dark. In Toxoneura quinquemaculata this vein is distinctly clouded. Moreover, the specimen is too pale for quinquemaculata and the jowl (although you cannot see this very clearly in the picture) seems not to be high enough for quinquemaculata.

So Dima, you can label it Toxoneura quinquemaculata.

Sorry, should be: You can label it Toxoneura trimacula

And Andrey, what is your opinion on the division into genera like Toxoneura, Temnosira, and Palloptera?

Jan Willem
