Hi


I think this is the only photo available for Xysta holosericea that I took today. Smile
Specimen was offered to me and it was caught in 21.VI.1987 in Villar de Ciervo.

Do you have wing venation shots? At the moment it just looks like most Phasiinae Grin

later.
It is stronger than any other Phasiinae I have seen. Much bigger eyes as well. Smile

Very interesting ... would be nice to see it next to a specimen of Phasia obesa (or similar). Is the wing venation like Phasia sp. (with petiole)?

No petiole, Chris. Wink The r4+5 cell is open! Wink

OK ... so it is closer to Ectophasia then - interesting Smile
