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.

It could be crassipennis? or is this another one?

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.

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.

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. :S So we must illuminate the object. :)

extension tubes, that''s the word I was looking for.
Thanks
