Do you have wing venation shots? At the moment it just looks like most Phasiinae ![]() Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |

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)?
