Campiglossa difficilis Hendel, 1927
Larvae in Taraxacum serotinum. Boreomontane species.

The difference from misella: 3-4 hyalide spot basal of the first crossvein (r-m) [2 in misella).
Oviscape almost as long as 3 last tergites. Apical hyaline spot of the triangle in both sexes large and subtriangular. Other subalpine and alpine Campiglossa as guttella, achyrophori, doronici, have very numerous and small hyaline dots apically of that triangular spot.

Brilliant pictures, the best of this species ever! Please add to the Gallery
