Certainly it is not a Stemonocera, judging from the well visisble ocellars and two pairs of orbital setae. It is 99% a female Trypeta zoe, but its wing pattern looks to be a little aberrant.

Anyway, it is a Trypeta, very probably zoe. The only thing could help is a large series to see variability in your area. I only have 5-6 zoe in my collection at all, and it is quite an uncommon species in Ukraine, restricted to the Carpathians and North.

Ok, thank's. It must be zoe then. We have only artemisiae, immaculata and zoe. It's not common at all in Finland too. I have six specimens so far and only one male. Jari Edited by JariF on 03-08-2009 07:52 |

Valery, any new thoughts on this aberrant specimen? I noticed also that there seems to be variation in the colour of the last abdominal segment of the females. Here it is glossy black as in some photo's of zoe I have seen, but most often it appear to be yellow or yellowish brown. I did not find anything about this in the (few) descriptions of the species I have.
