It is supposed to be Homoneura euaresta. Whehter it is the same species or a closely related one is difficult to say. The wing pattern is somewhat variable. Xespok

Member Location: Posts: 9193 Joined: 24.05.05	Thank you Xespok. I have Shatalkin's key to Palearctic Lauxaniidae. According this key it is Homoneura, but not H.euaresta. Also according it Oriental region is center of Homoneurinae diversity. As illustration of this fact I can add another one Thai Homoneurinae. Fly is collected, may be Shatalkin himself know it till species. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University

Member Location: Posts: 9193 Joined: 24.05.05	According Shatalkin's guide for Palearctic Lauxaniidae there are 3 species with such a painted wings: H. euaresta - Japan-Korea-Russia Far East, H. picta - widespread China-Oriental, H. trypetoptera - widespread Oriental, possibly South China. H. trypetoptera - arista with hair as long or more than 3-d segm antenae wide (rest two Homoneura - arista hair 1/3 as long...). H. trypetoptera - femora yellow with narrow brown ring in apical part. So I think it is Homoneura trypetoptera. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University
