Circular calypters
Can anyone pinpoint the genus or species illustrated please?

Re: Circular calypters
I'd suggest Rhinophoridae for this, but you'll need a clearer picture (including a whole wing shot) to confirm this, or to take it further.

Re: Circular calypters
Thanks Tony. I never thought it might be a Rhinophorid. I'll get to work with the microscope tomorrow.
