Hi,
Yesterday I found this Rhinophorid in a wood, sitting on a cut log. It was about 5-6 mm long, and I thought of a female Rhinophora lepida, but I find the mouth edge less protruding and the stalk on vein R4+5 longer. Especially puzzling is the bicoloured frontal vitta that is light in the middle part. So what can it be, perhaps a Stevenia? Help is appreciated!
The location was southwestern Germany, 20 km west of Stuttgart.
Thanks, Sundew
