I found 2 species of Ectophasia that may come into question (you may know of more). E. crassipennis & E. oblonga. The only feature (recognizable in this photo) that I think may help distinguish the species is in E. oblonga the bend in the wing veination (from photos on the we seems to have a more acute angle than E. crassipennis & this specimen. Is that a difference or have I just looked at to many photos. |

The females unfortunately can only be determined if you can see the sternite 7. The angle of the bend of vein M depends very much on the angle of view, I think. |
