Hi Reinoud,

My ID was based on comparisons to photos I took of an identified P. minor female specimen in the BMNH years ago. Otherwise, all I know is the Loew description in Engel... The female I photographed ("Serbia - Jugoslavia"/ identifier not recorded) at BMNH has an entirely pale yellow mystax), so differs somewhat from the photos provided here by tabiatdostu, which show a blacker mystax. Don't know the significance of that really, but inclined to assume simple variation (happens often between American spp. P. ridingsi and P. dorsatum). More info on these seemingly scarce Palaearctic Pogonosoma spp. is clearly needed...

Cheers,

Eric
