Hi,
Fresh from the press. Unfortunately I donīt really have equipment to take proper photos, this is just shot through the scope with a pocket camera... Wing cell is open, although looks closed in the picture, arista thickened to half and there is a thin line of silver dusting on each tergite margin. Size 5 mm.
The biotope is cool: some 3 km from where I live there is apparently an old military grounds with a huge, open, low vegetation meadow. Very hot landscape with abundant orthopterans, including
Oedipoda caerulescens numerously. I caught this by sweeping the low grass.
