Hi,

I am in doubt between Pseudoophonus rufipes and P. griseus, but given the shape of the pronotum, I lean towards the former. However, the keys state that in P. griseus the sternites are hairy in the middle and bare on the sides, with the opposite happening in P. rufipes. But I see hairs both in the middle and on the sides, am I misinterpreting what I see?
