Ptenothrix macomba
Dear Graham,
Dr Snider, of the Michigan State univ, pointed out to me that it is not Ptenothrix curvilineata, but its close relative Ptenothrix macomba.
So, at last we have now a correct identification ;-)
Sorry for the confusion caused...

Thanks
Frans. I asked for a new page so it shouldn't be too long before he has a home.
