I have found this that I was convinced was Melanostoma scalare but I have been said that it is Melanostoma mellinum. Can anybody help me to clarify its identity? And what are the real ID tips for both species? Thanks in advance! :)

OMG, André! That was quick! I didn't even had time to submit all the attachments and you already IDed it!! :D

Thanks a lot, my friend! What is the ID tip then? I always believed that the greenish colour of the little wings was diagnostic but I am not so sure now.
