 I agree with your ID, Helge. This is castellanii. The typical shape of the proboscis with its "pointed" apex and the long downward bent bristles on the upper part of the face are good characters to separate this species from fimbriata/fulva and from the marginata group ( proboscis).

Greetings, Danny

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
