Thecophora sp. female, in Central Europe, it would be T. melanopa, but in Spain?
Greetings,

I'm afraid I don't have any answer to that question, but Thecophora cf. melanopa is really good for me. Thanks Piros.

Hi jhtsuke. Thanks for your proposal, but isn't it the proboscid of genus Melanosoma much longer than that of my specimen?
