Nice try - Ectophasia sp. Well, I say that based on the fact that vein-M is not petiolate and the wing pattern is diffuse but I don't recognise this species.

I only have crassipennis and oblonga in the Central European key and crassipennis is the most likely ... but I am not sure if you have more species down there |

This is definitly not Ectophasia oblonga. A third species of Ectophasia exists: Ectophasia leucoptera. And this is it, most likely, because of the colour of the wings. Liekele |

Without a doubt a male of leucoptera. (black vitta on abdomen strongly broadened, milky colour of wings...) Jorge, how do you get 2:1 maginification ? 100mm macro and intermediate rings ? Nice work. Theo |

Jorge, how do you get 2:1 maginification ? 100mm macro and intermediate rings ? Nice work. Theo no. I use kenko extension tubes and Sigma 105 mm EX. I can get 4:1 with 50 mm inverted lens but it turns very hard to take photos. Very small depth of field and we almost see nothing.  So we must illuminate the object. |
