Can some assure me that the flexure in CuA1 is definitive for this as a Chloropid. It seems fine on other characteristics but it is so dark I cannot see much but black on the head, and the last lot of chloropids I sent to Michael had a lot of non-chloropids in it, I am trying to do better this time.

Chloropid for certain. Dunno about Rhodesialla, though. Not my cup of tea.

Thanks Paul, It is nice to be sure as I am sending Michael about 100 of them.
