Feel rather embarassed :o to be asking this, given the excellent English on this site displayed by so many people from so many countries, but could someone help me with a translation of this excerpt from a German key to lacewings:

"Sehr markant Spezies; durch die im [the key] angegebenen Merkmale auch eidonomisch stets problemlos zu identifizieren"

It is the word "eidonomisch" that we are particularly struggling with.

Many thanks,
Martin

I think that Eidonomie means external morphology.

---

Very disctinct looking species: with the help of the characteristics in the key it is no problem to identify by the shape/form.

... or better wait for Frank & Co ... :D

Anyone who uses words like 'eidonomisch' in a key shot be shot :) Keep it simple.

Not that anything could irritate me right now, since my sister gave birth to a healty baby girl. I've been uncleified B)

Thanks for your help everyone, and congratulations to Uncle Kahis (it's okay, I didn't have to spend a very long time looking up the definition of "cleified" before I realised what was going on :D!)
