An Atheigona. As far as I know, only A. varia has been known from Austria, but the monstrous aedeagus seems me puzzling.

aedeagus looks like that of A. tibiseta; known from Australia but not Austria (;

Helge, why Australia???
Trifoliate process fits well A. varia.

Thank you for your answer & your help, Nikita!
I didn´t believe seriously that I found A. tibiseta in Austria, in my post I just mentioned the similarity of the trifoliate process. ;)

I didn´t found any genital drawings or pictures of A. varia to compare with.


best wishes, Helge
