Nope, it is typical fera: tarsi reddish, vertex narrow, black vitta on abdomen narrowing on tergite 5, smaller third antennal segment. What made you think it might be magnicornis ? Theo |

Well, I have seen fera usually with more yellow hair around the occiput, and somehow it did not look like the proportions of "typical fera". But I was indeed worried with the color of the legs, for one; Howsoever, I bow to your superior knowledge  Thanks Philippe PS Oh, and I guess the locality being far away from home, I was hopefull for novelties  |
