Hello,

I guess, Psilidae (Chyliza or Chamaepsila?).

Paul, what do you think about C. nova ? Eugène asks me to have your opinion. https://www.insec...p;t=229899 because of the second antennal segment yellowish above and dorsal side of humeri usually yellow.
thanks a lot

I have seen the characters in the key but I do not know if these are reliable. Many keys also give characters to distinguish between Chamaepsila rosae and C. nigricornis and these do not hold under close inspection. So, I just don't know.
