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.

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)?
