hello africaone
thank you for the reply, but Prosopocera multiguttata or flavomaculata doesn't come up anywhere with the specimen above. I'll keep checking though
regards
pete

Greetings,
This looks very similar to Eunidia guttula from Tanzania to me. Most Eunidia are relatively small - in the 7-15mm range. It is more heavily marked than specimens I have seen, but they are variable.
Cheers!

They are not endemic to tanzania are they? Thanks for the ID, this has been giving me a headache. Pete |

Greetings,
I'm not sure about the distribution of this species, but the genus occurs across the entire continent south of the Sahara. Eunidia is a big genus, with a lot of similar species, so it's possible that your specimen is close to, but different from, guttulata. I checked "Longicornios de Mocambique" and guttulata isn't listed for Mozambique, so that didn't give me any hint as to how widely guttulata ranges. This is older literature, so it is likely that it is incomplete.
I guess to be safe, I would call it Eunidia sp., near guttulata.
Happy New Year!
Bandrow
