Can you help?

Here you will find pictures of wings of six species of flies from Jatun Sacha, Ecuador. Four of these species (B, C, D, and E) are new.

Genetic analysis clearly shows that these species are different, but we can't tell them apart by looking at their wings.

Compare the spots on these wings, and if you can find a way to tell them apart, please let us know!

 

Species A: Blepharoneura atomaria

Species B: Blepharoneura "leafclap"

Species C: Blepharoneura "Shiverer"

 

Species D: Blepharoneura "shimmy" Species E: Blepharoneura "flatclap" Species F: Blepharoneura perkinsi
