Peleteria ... note the 2 strong bristles on the face, between the eyes and the vibrissae  |

how can we know the possible species? What are the characters I must seek for? |

I have never seen them here in the UK so I am not the best to ask, but Theo might know. I have had a look in the Central European key and it keys to Peleteria varia (to which it bears a striking similarity in general appearance too!) but there is always a caveat that you are outside the range of the key and you might/probably have other species to consider |

OK, I'll try at home later tonight first. The download seemed fine, but the files didn't open ...

Jorge Can you please upload your second image to the gallery? Or to the new overviews forum maybe - then people can add suitable Nowickia, etc, as they come in. Your photo shows the Peletaria facial bristles really clearly. Susan |
