Moved

Moved from coronata group. I have finally bit the bullet and bought the journal article describing the two relatively new species of Ageniella. One is in another subgenus and the other is in the same subgenus as A. coronata but not in that species group. It looks like the large, all-orange Ageniella with deeply fuliginous wings can safely be placed under A. coronata

I think this may be Species A

I think this may be Species Ageniella coronata. Can anyone confirm?

The species-group is correct, anyway

This is in the coronata species-group. Were it not for the fact that Marius Wasbauer stated to me that he had discovered an undescribed species in this group I would have no reservations calling it A. coronata (It used to be the only species in the group). He did not give me characters to separate the two (heck, I don't even know if he has formally described it yet), so I'm afraid this one will not be going to the species level.

I agree with genus.

Species ID is more problematic. Great series of images!
