      Definitely, maybe, or maybe not Tribe Trichopterygini? Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

          Thanks so much for all these excellent suggestions! With an example like this:
          https://www.flickr.com/photos/itchydogimages/32395647514

          ...Sauris sp. looks incredibly convincing. The snout, the weird angle of the front legs, all of it. Strangely, both Sauris and Tristeirometa sp. do not seem reported in Africa in my search so far, they are mostly Asian. For tribe Trichopterygini I found a single African observation, so to start with I'll put that in the title.           Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

            You're welcome! The snout and weird front leg angle were the clues that led me to Trichopterygini, especially Sauris sp....But, of course there could be a similar genus that we are unaware of at this point. Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
